The reason he was able to break off that big run against Tampa, was because it was a draw, and on draw's you allow linemen to take themselves out, so whichever way they rush you just keep riding them that way, so if the defensive line was slanting, the line would block down, not by design, but dictated by the pass rush, essentially creating the same type of blocking pattern that Portis was used to on a regular basis in denver.

My point as well! If we block like Denver's line did, Portis gets his yards. If we do the Counter Gap, we wind up with the usual 2 yards and a cloud of dust that we have been doing!

Great point about Barrow being a bust! Although, I'm not sure that he counts against the Salary Cap if he is hurt, and on the injurred list each week, or until the Skins put him on IR for the year! Maybe our Salary Cap friend can enlighten us!
