Yea but really now Peterson was getting shutdown the last 3 games. Peterson had a year were every one saying 1600 yards but....they said that with Gore,LJ,Stevenson, but all never happend.


I think Portis well run all over any team if hes healthy, but every time i saw him the OL was the problem at first.

I thought that I heard Zorn say the running scheme is going to be the same as it was last year.He is only changing the passing schemes.So if you expect Portis to come back to "form", it will come from his and the o-lines health and not a change in scheme.

yeah i heard the same thing, alot of changes in the passing game but running stays the same . . . . but were they talking about the schemes or language/terms?

also alot of people seem to think that if we use broncos zone blocking scheme portis will get back to his bronco form but didnt we switch to zone blocking last year to create lanes for portis to pick and choose his holes and cuts when gibbs smashmouth was not working?

my guess, 1,300 rushing yards 10 tds = the usual solid contribution from mr. portis

go skins!
