He kinda does and kinda does not know what he's talking about.....

Alexander (TTB) is, in my oppinion, more like Cartwright in the sense that both will dance in the back field waiting for a hole that a mack truck could drive through opens up then they try to hit the hole. Otherwise they run more East/West and losing yrds here and there doing so.

but...lately Portis has been doing the same thing. Not sure if this has anything to do with him losing weight over the summer to try and become a speedier/shiftier RB or what. Portis used to be a hard hitting run over you type of RB but since last yr and into this yr he seems to get stopped at the goal line, not hitting the holes or getting washed up in them, and slower.

I hate to say it cause I'm not a fan favorite of Betts or Cartwright but when both were put in the game together they seemed to get more yrds vs. Portis and Sellers.
