Playcalling

Now the O line can be responsible for not opening holes but what it hasn't given up is a lot of sacks. It's not Gibb's system that's the problem it's Portis's inability to read defenses and adjust to the game. Tiki Barber has made his line look better than it is simply by reading the defense and hitting the hole or cutting back against the line. We know Brunell is at the end of his career, but much more is expected of Portis ever since he busted through the hole on opening day. Unforturnately his fumbles have contributed greatly to at least two losses.

Sunra, the prob. with Portis reading block's, and finding holes is, I really haven't seen any holes to run through, it's not like he's missing them, regardless who's in at RB, they seem to be running into a wall every time, the worst offensives I have ever seen, did a better job opening holes than we have, the question is why?
