Updated Title: Will Portis Shine Again in a West Coast Offense?

[over the mountain]

yeah im not on either side of this argument, just surprised noone mentioned that portis took it easy during preseason when the topic was his conditioning.

matty come on, was it the "knee" or the fact that portis has never liked preseason and his injury 2 years ago in the first preseason game tied gibbs hands alil and gave him a bye . . . portis took last preseason off and while he did work out it took him a while to get into game shape and speed.

interesting portis didnt have more than 20 carries until week 6, i was wrong. that makes portis' stat as having the most carries even more interesting.

go skins!

Who knows. The team said it was knee tendonitis so that's what I'm going by. Anything else is pure speculation.

yeah LT has "knee tendonitis" around the same time of year too! (jokes)

I think he did have an injury. It might have been minor but I think everyone wanted to play it safe with him and as a result they were probably too protective of him in the preseason.

As much as I hate to say it, I think CP is as talented as LT. I think he is much more dangerous at around 205 to 210. If he's playing around that weight he will be a BEAST in the WC offense.
