On top of that he looked open on every pass route he ran with the exception of one. He just looked faster on his feet to me and he's going to need it cuz torain and williams looked really good at times and we still haven't seen LJ who has had a very strong offseason.

I dont know, I was hoping for a little more from Portis...he seemed like the same ole Portis to me. I'd like to see a second gear coming out of the hole, he just doesnt have that anymore. Im with you on LJ, I really want to see what he has and believe LJ can move up the depth chart if he cant run with more explosiveness through the middle. I think LJ is better than Portis with breaking tackles too. I believe both will see alot of pt through the season, but if what we saw from Portis Friday night is what we are going to get, than I rather have LJ running the ball the majority of the time.

Im in wait and see mode right now between the two since of course we have just started the preseason games, but I want to see more out of our running backs
