That's a big IF, I was saying that the day I heard we may trade for the guy, and yet the coaches not only didn't see it, they ran him as Daseal said like Gibbs thought he was Riggins, without doing much in the area of changing the blocking schemes to suit Portis's running style, 1300 yds? And Gibb's took 2 years off his NFL life to get there, he dropped over 1 and a half yards per carry under his career average, and couldn't get the big yard on third or fourth and 1 if his life depended on it. 1300 yards for Portis is like a QB who throws for 300 yards with 60 pass attempts for 5 yards a pop, 300 yards sounds good until you see what he had to do to get there.
