I'd rather have all those guys.

first off without Jacobs the Giants look no better than the Redskins against the Cowboys. So that says a lot when your talking about a great team like the Giants to be effected in such a negative way without there running back. I think the Skins suffer similarly without a healthy Portis.

As far as Westbrook. Same thing. When he is healthy Eagles win.

But the fact remains Portis had more yards then all of them individually before his injuries caught up with him.

Again if Portis remained healthy he would be the league top rusher and probably in line for MVP.

We can't win without Portis.

Is it that Jacob's missing that is hurting their game or the fact that teams don't have to have two players covering Plax. The NFL network did a piece on this and they showed how teams have changed their D scheme against the Giants without plax.

I think it's fair to say Plax is hurting the Giants but Jacobs seems to make it or break it for them. Portis is not only our running back but a team leader as well. I think Zorn didn't know how to recover when he lost the luxury of a solid Portis game.(s) He and his team where leaning to heavily on Portis. I think it's fair to give Zorn a offseason to regroup. Institute his offence. Keep all our same personnel but pick up some linemen on both sides. And keep Portis!
