yeah dont blame cp, i you want a rationale reason you have to ask the mods who apparently when this subject of this skins being married contractually to portis in the offseason is a non issue..... yawn.

sadly, most mods are on record as saying there needs to be a change at rb, please compare this with their put down thoughts just a few months ago.

go skins!!

Let's not get crazy now...

You're basing this on one game. Now Betts & Rock are kings because they ran against a defense that was preparing for an offense to pass in the 2nd half? Hardly...if either Betts or Rock are keyed & schemed on like Portis is in the week leading to the game they wouldn't have the same output.

I'm not a believer in either Betts or Rock under this dismal OL. Our OL is more of a cause for poor rushing game than our RBs are at this point.


One half is hardly reference enough to cite change or indict culpability.

For the most part I agree with your post here. But even though the sample size is small, Betts certainly looked like he had a heck of a lot more bounce and pop than Portis has all year. Portis is also battling through a myriad of injuries to his right leg, and now he has a concussion to deal with. I would have no issue with shutting him down for a few games or at least making the backfield a full on time share.

As far as the thread title, I don't know if he's a "BIG" problem, but he's not really helping us at all either. His contract however will become a GIANT problem if a new CBA gets signed.

Good post, GM and Tee! I'm hoping we will do complete overhaul on the line this off-season..

i also said Cp only gets as many yards as the Oline clears for him.

i and the OP were greeted with a bunch of "if you think portis is a prob then you dont know football" or "yeah lets blame our 1500 yd back" responses.

idk its alil frustrating to be criticized for stating an opinion then (seemingly) having the masses who once criticized your football iq start agreeing with you.

no big deal, i was drunk and alil aggitated by the game.

i also think portis and moss dont try 110% for the past few seasons and i question their heart compared to guys like fletcher. i am greeted with responses like "there is no stat for heart" or "its just silly to question a guys heart" . .

basically this season has made me a lil jaded and i do apologize.

go skins!!
