Portis and the Denver System Revisited

[JWsleep]

I agree, ill. And I also think that right now Portis is very much trying to stay "within the offense" and not cut around like Barry Sanders. Until he really gets the feel of how the timing of Gibbs run game works, and until the o-line really gets it together, he's going to stay with the play and grind it out. But when it gels, look out. He's going to break some big ones.

I've also been impressed with just how good a receiver he is (and a blocker). And he never quits on a play. Sure, Denver has a good system (we'll see if it still works), but Portis is the real deal.
