Marshall Faulk's Top 5 RB's...No Portis?!

[MTK]

Gibbs used some zone blocking in his offense, and under Saunders they used even more. I'm not sure the scheme matters as much as the performance. Through the first 8 games or so last year the OL was run blocking really well. Down the stretch things fell apart, I can't count the number of times CP was getting hit in the backfield. Block well and he will run well.

People forget that in Denver, CP benefited from one of the dirtiest o lines in the league. Alex Gibbs always coaches his guys to cut block and it's pretty hard to stop the run when you're watching out for your knees the whole game.
