Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?

MightyJoeGibbs · 09-22-2006, 02:39 PM

I was thinking about this the other night. CP has had a disasterous start. Week 1 -I will never understand why someone didnt intervene and tell him your not fit to play, week 2 missed, they say he will be playing this sunday but I think he will semi be effective and used. With his injury, 2 weeks gone by, and other backs to share the workload it could be possible that he doesnt reach 1,000 yds, this season and that is sad to me.

First off, he was cleared to play week 1. Should they have just held him out? You can't be scared to play someone. If the doctors clear him, and Portis himself says he's ready, you play him.

He got tweaked against the Vikings but it wasn't related to his preseason injury.

He has plenty of time to reach 1000. Hitting 1000 isn't even that big of a deal anymore. He has 13 games left, he would only need to average 77 yards per game to do it.

You're right, I think if Betts played the remaining games he could rack up a 1000 yds. I think in today's NFL the truly prolific backs hit 1300-1500 yds.

I'll tell you who's off to a good start, and that's Warrick Dunn.

Yes.

DaveyFoSho · 09-22-2006, 03:47 PM

You're right. Thomas Jones is looking amazing with his 3.0 ypc so far this season. Last years 1300 yard season wasn't a fluke at all. And Cedric Who? looks even better with his 2.8 ypc.

Brunell, because while he may be a woman on the inside, he's not a woman on the outside like Grossman.

His name suggests to me that he enjoys men in tight jeans.

I just love the fact that he has a Bears avatar, yet can't spell the last name of their Starting QB.
