Basically, it all starts with Portis

Are we talking about Ladell Betts? The Ladell Betts that I watch on Sundays has good vision, but he is definitely not the hard runner everyone claims he is. Stephen Davis, LaDanian Tomlinson, Ricky Willaims, Steven Jackson, they are hard runners. Backs that can run guys over, drag defenders with them, and move piles. Anyone that is dragged down from behind, by a safety with one hand on his shirt-tail is automatically disqualified. I swear, if Betts ever had a decent amount of carries at Soldier Field in November or December, the wind would tackle him more times than the Bears would.
