I Want To See The Clinton Portis Of Old

[memphisskin]

Oddly enough I'm with you redsk1 and you too Matty and mredskins. CP is not the problem, however I want to see him being a gamebreaker. I don't think redsk1 is saying CP is the problem, but how we're using him is.

I'm encouraged by what I've seen. The first play of last game, Campbell did get sacked after locking on to the right side. But in the highlight, you can see Portis swinging out to the left all alone. That type of thing, getting Portis out in space, and sustaining drives like matty said, will result in seeing the Portis of old.

15 more pedestrian games like last week and he will get 1360 yeards for the season.

Almost looking like he will hit 1500 again. Not too shabby at all.

I feel like he always quietly gets his yards. When the team plays like balls, its hard to focus on him. He had like 84 yds last week which isnt bad.

Thank You. That's exactly what i was saying. I'm complementing CP in this thread. We've got to utilize him more...and maybe differently.

Yes, 1500 yards is more than "not to shabby," but I'd rather him not acheive it by getting 4 yards a pop. I'd rather him hit 4.5-5 yards a pop a carry less.

But, yes, this is a PRO CP thread.
