Portis is weak cuz he missed ONE game? give me a break, he got the most carries of any other Redskin in a season EVER.

here's another non-stat circumstance. ever seen Betts make a block? me neither. how many sacks have we had because of complete lack of effort on his part, even in this last game? Portis stops his man no matter what takes, and it certainly isn't tap dancing. to question his effort this year is really just ridiculous, you had more to chew on with his size.

oh if you want proof our OLine has major problems? how bout our 'max protect' with two to three TE's every play but us getting the SAME sack total as Spurrier who didnt even have a TE in the playbook. all those teams you mentioned have something called a PASSING GAME as well.

Giant's? Saint's? How bout seattle they drop every pass in sight, what passing game.

I agree Portis is a better blocker than Bett's but did we trade for Portis for his blocking abilities? 50 mil for a 200lbs blocking back?

He missed 1 and a half games he was benched in favor of Bett's, I guess the coaches felt running the ball was a little more important than the occasional block.

And I wonder how healthy Portis would have been if he ran the ball for Spurrier? As I said circumstances dictate stat's and if you think Portis would have run for 1500 yds under SS now you have me laughing, he would be lucky if he had 1000 yard's, LUCKY!

By the way B. Mitch has also called out Portis for those very thing's, not toughing it out, and I think he know's a little bit about a little guy fighting for those yard's.
