man, how LONG have those guys been in their systems? more importantly, how long have their OLINES been in those systems??

Gibbs doesn't WANT his backs cutting back, thats not how he gameplans and im sure Portis has been told not to. this is a huge philosophy change for Portis and a WHOLE new deal for the Oline.

Gibbs had Cooley blocking for Portis in the I formation. thats a change for Portis's style right there. but thats a new position for Cooley too. its gonna take time for the team and the coach to figure it all out, but already things are started to move albeit slowly.
