For Portis to really utilize his talents, he NEEDS some pitchouts, screens, outside runs, passes in the flat. A constant diet of counter plays is allowing the defense to bunch and close the hole before it develops. Once he breaks a couple nice runs on outside plays in a game, the counters will be MUCH more successful. I expect to see some of this REAL soon - hopefully tonight.
