I agree Matty, Portis clearly had success running behind a zone blocking scheme and Gibbs has definitely made Portis the centerpiece of our offense. After a year of forcing a round peg into a square hole of course Gibbs is going to tweak things.

The key to me is improved pass protection, a slightly revamped running game and better quarterback play. We make some plays early in the passing game and Portis will be MVP this year. Portis is a home run hitter, but he's not the kind of guy who can power through 8 man fronts. What he is though, is an exciting and electric runner who should score at least 12 tds this year. When's the last time we had a guy score double digits tds for us?
