but yeah, making that a TD vs a FG would've meant OT (doubt we would have gone for a 2 pt if we made that)... or not wasting all our TOs pointlessly...

We need to get Portis to the outside on the goalline. Hes one of the fastest guys in the league. We cant send him up the middle on plays that dont have time to develop ( such as on the goalline ). We either need Portis to the Outside or Betts up the middle when we are on the 1.

Or as I've mentioned in other threads, at least use a different formation to spread the defense out a little. Yeah, there may be fewer blockers in from of him, but that also means there's more of a chance of a crease for him to push it through.......especially when he only needs a yard or less....

not only on goal line situations, but i think we need to get portis out on the edge more, for his speed and the fact that defenses are loading 10 guys in the box against us.
