Shanahan Dodging the Heat

[KLHJ2]

I agree with Matty that Portis slipped trying to cut just as Hall did all freaking night (Equipment manager WTF?).

Back to the original point though, aside from that play I fell that it is typical for Portis and even Moss to go to the ground prematurely to prevent injury. Now WR's won't get too much grief about it but a RB will becaue he his supposed to finish runs.

My personal opinion is that Portis had no problems finishing off two hard fought 2 TD runs last week. Even if he did give up on this run it wasn't until after he had more than moved the chains and realized that fighting for the extra yards would not have yielded much more yardage and went down to reduce the risk of injury.

I still firmly believe that he slipped though like he usually does.

F a presser. He answered the questions...and we lost. Nothing left to say other than needs to see the tape and BYE.

THE END!

After cooling off a little, the more meaningful press conference is this afternoon, now that the staff has digested the film. In that, I would still like to hear about Portis' status, and why it's inconceivable to coaches that Devin Thomas could contribute offensively on a day when Moss was the only WR with a reception. One thing I don't expect to hear is how thoroughly outcoached we were, especially Haslett getting schooled by Shurmur.
