Irish, I would agree with you, but there aren't that many holes. I would love to see that push from our line where Portis makes his cut 1 or 2 yards up field. Right now he is stopped in the back field many times because the Defenses we are playing are pushing our guys off the line. Portis is stuggling just to get in between a seam when he makes his cut, because there is just not much there to work with. Our line is obviously a work in progress and it will take at least another year and 2 more solid linemen in my opinion before the Skins can cover up for the other less than solid guys we have.

I think the Skins could have les than talented RBs if the line was better. Right now it takes a superb RB to make our line look good and Portis is the only one that is close. Larry Johnson would have needed an excelent line to look good because he is slow.
