play calling???

CP hasn't lsot a step.. That 34 yard gain was on the short side of the field, and if any of you have ever run the ball at a college level (d2) then you would know that it's not that simple to break away ont he short side of the field.

AP is probally the only back in the NFL that would of broken that all the way, and he would of had to break the 2 DB tackles first. They were playing soft coverage, and he wasn't able to break through the 2nd level.

Ive went back and watched the replay about 5 times,and i amend my statement that 1/2 the backs would have broken it for a td,that was a ridiculous statement.However,I do think Portis has lost a step from the pounding hes taken the last few yrs,and Im still disapointed that he doesnt look like the back we thought we were getting.His longest runs have went down every yr sine he got here.That 34 yrd run was his longest since 2005,{which contradicts what Ive said about losing a step}but that hole was so big he was barely touched till he was tackled.Is it the off lines fault? I dont know.I do know that I would love to be proven wrong by Portis and you can rub it in my face all day long,cause if Im proven wrong then its helping the skins win which is what we all want
{oh,and it wasnt the short side of the field,just the opposite}

Thinking about the game right now. Would it have been better if Jason ran the no huddle/shotgun during the Giants game. We could have worn out their DLine and they woulnd't have been able to make subsitutions. This is definitely an approach we should take because for the past few years he has looked productive when we run the offense like that and also its a good approach to take because he can se things quicker and take off if needed and also like I said if we are going up against a killer Dline it tires them out and they are not able to make subsitutions.

I hope Zorn is open to the idea considering the G-Men have own us for so long now. I agree no or hurry offense will stop them from running in frsh D-Linemen and hopefully tire them late in the game.

Yes. I said this all last year. I thought a little no huddle here and there, especially when the O line was taking a beating last year, would have kept Defenses at bay. The Bills used it effectively against the Pats.

This is a great point, and I think it could have helped. Someone else mentioned that the Giants only had 3 CB's active for the game. And thats why I have doubts about Zorn and his playcalling. Why you have 5 WR's active and dont go to more 4-5wide sets I just dont understand. If you see a weakness in the other team, I dont understand the reason why you dont take advantage of that....oh wait balance....what a load of crap.

Look, even people around the league admit that Ladainian Tomlinson has lost a step -- so why is it impossible to think that Clinton Portis has?

It doesn't mean he's terrible or that he should be released. He's getting older, he doesn't run the way he used to, and it happens to every single player sooner or later.
