Please don't take this as a hit on Portis I like what he does just fine it was just an observation.

I know their D wasn't the best, but do you remember that 50yrd TD last year in St Louis? Portis out ran everyone during that one. I jsut don't feel like he really ever got into the open field last year because there were usually safeties playing deep.

One other time that he outran the D that comes to mind was in philly during the last game of the regular season.
