yeah im confident Gibbs will make the perfect gameplan with what he's got. i'm just wondering who he'd put in on 4th and Goal at the one.

didn't get an answer from any Denver watchers. what did Portis tend to do, up the middle or bounce outside? i know he can do both. what would Denver do on short yardage, and how did they their FB? did they do lots of singleback? how does he play?

I doubt that we'll be 4th and 1 all season. The Offense will move the chains like Lance.

Gibbs won't run him in to the ground either, Betts and the other backups will play a significant role in this offense.

Absolutely. There will be several offensive sets without Portis on the field. Short yardage plays will probably go to Betts or Cartright - any indication yet which it will be?

I don't think Gibbs will overwork Portis.. He will probably give him 18-25 carries a game, I expect to see a lot more of Betts (assuming he's healthy) this year than we anticipate.. Plus, there is a misconception that Gibbs is a grind it out type of coach.. He's a short pass, sweep, play action type of coach who will run the ball to keep the clock moving when he has a lead.. Everyone brace themselves, but remember how (ugh) Norv Turner called plays for the (ugh ugh) Cowboys during their run in the 90's? Get the lead early thru the air then grind it out on the ground. That's the same way that Gibbs did in his years.. He was ahead of the game offensively at the time. Remember his offense is the same as Air Coryell and what Mike Martz and the Rams run now.. It'll be a good balance to help protect Portis..

Actually, the Coryell offense was the BASIS for his offense, but he made dramatic changes (improvements) to it in his last stint here. And expect to see many more new wrinkles this season. He has spent MANY hours studying the new NFL defensive schemes, and will certainly have surprises to counter them. His total offensive package will surely be uniquely his. Every time a new defensive wrinkle shows up to counter his offense, he makes new adjustments.

Uhh you guy's it's a video game! Portis is big enough to av 5.5 yrds a carry. That's all I need to know.

I want to report a theft! Matty stole my thoughts and posted first! Betts, my friends, is a Stephen Davis Clone, only a step or two faster! I still have his stats, 40 times, Wonderlic score and such from when he was drafted!
