Who needs to step up?

yeah, the only time I remember seeing him yesterday was when he was running down the field next to Moss on the big screen play. I think with Jacobs it's mainly been the fact that Gibbs has been using a max protect scheme about 90-95% of the time and only having one or 2 wrs out on the field and Gibbs would prefer to have Moss or Patten out there in those situations.

I think Portis needs to step up. Like a couple others have mentioned, there have been quite a few times this year where his body seemed to get ahead of his feet and he trips himself when there have been holes. And he still needs to work on his patience, because he's been running by his blocks before they fully develop way too often. He's doing decent on yards, but he'd be close to his old self if he was able to control that. And as I mentioned in another thread, please please please stop calling for these pathetic runs up the middle that portis never seems to get more than a yard or 2 on and have him swing to the outside or something to that extent to utilize his speed and shiftiness.

I think the turnovers will come as they've been just a hair out of place at times and like Greg Willaims says, they come in spurts and this weekend against a rookie qb who has a QB rating of 12.5.
