Agreed that Portis IS a Gibbs back, that's whay JG made the trade for him.
But you're wrong about zone blocking; the Skins didn't employ any until midseason 06. There was an article in the Wash. Post about it & I remember discussing it here. Bugel was resistant to it but Saunders likes it.
The beneficiary of zone blocking was Betts, he had some huge holes to hit. Wait till we see Portis hit those kind of holes!! Cross your fingers that we re sign Dock!

at least we are close to the same page freddy...but they did run zone blocking in 05, ill take you to the bank on that. when you hear the term stretch runs which is what they went to in 05 that is just a way of saying zone blocking...bugges did resist at first but they found that clinton was not patient enough to run thier man on man counter treys so they went to the zone blocking schemes he excelled in denver, 1 cut and go.

enough of that topic, all this talk at corner, which i agree we need help with but safety is a huge concern. i say keep springs because he really has played great when healthy. dre bly would be a hell of a pick up at the right price. thier are also some good corners in this draft like chris houston. i wouldnt mind that draft day deal with the jets that everyone is hyping and getting vilma and then at number 25 getting chris houston. i would personally go for a safety in free agency unless you canget laron landry from lsu after trading back to get more picks. some free agent safeties might me dwight smith from minn or ken hamlin from seattle.
