This is the stuff you do over and over again in practice, minicamps, OTA's and so on. Oh yeah, CP didn't participate in any of that stuff. He's too good for that.

A muffed handoff, bad exchange, whatever you want to call it, but it was not 100% Portis. Campbell seemed to be quite a distance away from Portis when he was making the handoff, which obviously shouldn't have been the case.

And I'm not excusing Portis from blame at all. That was a horribly executed play. My point to you is, Portis fumbling has nothing to do with Betts' inability to get into the endzone, in two attempts from the one yard line.

Campbell was going to put it right in his gut and Portis reached to grab it. That's on Portis 100% of the time.

He probably won't do it again for the rest of this season, but Campbell did everything he was supposed to. Portis knows it was his fault, we don't have to defend him. It was a mistake, its over.
