Who needs to step up?

Defensive line REALLY needs to improve, but I didnt really expect a ton out of them anyways.

I agree GMAN. I really wish we could use more of those stretch plays for Portis. Especially in the red zone. Everyone is in the box, so we should just run him to the outside. He has the speed to turn the corner.

Defensively all around we need to step up, but one thing that does stick out is shitty tackling. Did you guys see Trent Green look like M.Vick on that one play where like 5 defenders couldn't get him down? Thats ridiculous.

I thought I heard somewhere that early in the Denver game that Portis told Gibbs his shin was hurting too much to turn to the outside, that he'd rather run between the tackles until he felt better.

Can anyone confirm this?
