I am going to stay away from this before I get ganged up on..lol. Not. But this shows you the importance of having a 3rd RB. This injury shouldn't be that serious. I think he will just be on a heavy dose of pain killers. That being said. If this causes him to have less carries and Betts more carries I can't be that optimistic about our running game. According to Rock, Alridge will be active and Mason deactivated. Has anyone heard if Zorn has confirmed this?

Well...if Portis is limited....we could have 3 great opportunities against the Lions.

1. See some Alridge in real life situations...and possibly a good deal of him
2. Rinehart...a given already
3. Forces the passing game....this may force Zorn and Campbell to actually throw more to the young WRs...

What does that all have in common?
A ton of youth.
Odds are ....at least one of these guys will have a breakout game...and quite possibly gain some passing MOJO.

You know...when you are totally dependant on the run game and portis...you tend to lean on it rather than go bombs away...if that is limited...it forces you out of the comfort zone...I sure hope we get these young guys jammin!
