Who looks like they run better though? This is by no means a Portis-hating post, or calling him a bust. Just do you remeber how he made people look silly? Jumping and jiving, he could run 60 yards with an assortment of moves. We were all excited when we heard he was come to D.C. Where did that go, that hold your breath feeling the announcer was talking about with L.T.?

I agree he hasn't really been the same back, but it's not the same system. I think we need to adjust to the system that Denver and Atlanta employ. I love the zone blocking idea. It works everywhere.

And it's not like he hasn't had good games with the Skins, but a lot of times he just doesn't get the chance to get going. It's tough for a skat back type to come into a power running system. It doesn't make much sense that we haven't adjusted the scheme to play to his strengths more. I know they tried or whatever, but they need to make a lot of changes to play to this kid's strengths, cause when he's on he can look like LT.
