Rudi johnson ran it 3 times and stayed in 3 series under real pressure and hard tackles. I wonder what action the league should take against our old d-cordinator.


All i am saying is that portis wasn't put in a position that was out of the ordinary.

Good point, and while it wasn't out of the ordinary it was unnecessary. Running backs take enough of a pounding in the regular season, adding meaningless time in the preseason just adds to it. Our star rb does not need to go a whole series in the first preseason game, the risk is just not worth the reward. The only reason the starters would play the first of four preseason games is to justify the high ticket prices.
