Don't get me wrong I am a Portis fan but I know when a RB has lost some wheels and he has been slow for 3 years now. It is time we addressed the backfield and now we will get an eye opener. The good news is...it works out in our favor.

Since no one else would do it, I guess I will. Are you ready to eat crow now? As we clearly saw today the Redskins rushing problems go beyond Portis... Hell, even if the Redskins can't run the ball, with Portis in there McNabb doesn't get knocked down or sacked as much as he did today, Matthews would not have given McNabb that much trouble with Portis back there to pick up the blitzes.

We need to face it our rushing game has HUGE problems the goes beyond who is carrying the ball. I wanted in the worst way to see Torain bust out today, but he couldn't behind that "patchwork" line, at best....
