Isn't that what any back does?
196 yards is a damn good day no matter what way you spin it.Yeah. And I obviously have no flaws with the way Portis ran today, as evidenced by his yardage total. Today he ran like an NFL capable runner, and I was relieved. He even broke a few tackles.
To me though, doing the job given the condidtions doesn't always land you the game ball. Doing something somewhat exceptional (like Suisham did) does.

My point is, I would have rewarded the line for just opening up crazy big gaps all day, but I can't ignore the fact that blitz pickup was non existant.
I dunno, I think 196 yards is an exceptional day.
I think we can both agree the running game was huge today.
I didn't think the pass pro was all that bad, it's certainly been worse in recent weeks.

If Portis keeps it up, we should be in for a fun rest of the season...

Man on the day Portis finally breaks out....I'm going to go with Suisham as well, honestly. He made some tough kicks in a tough stadium....Its really close though, because Clinton Portis looked as good today as he has at any point in a Skins Uniform (save maybe the 5 game stretch in 05).
Great job for both of them and from Landry. Cooley was once again very solid, abeit unspectacular...but I'd rather have a guy like Cooley who busts his ass ever week and put up "good" numbers, than people be a flash in the pan for a game and not be seen the rest of the year.

Suisham he was money today 5/5 and I think all but one was over 40 yards.(I could be wrong) Portis finally got things going but since our offense still struggles Im glad we have a kicker we can rely on. Good game Suisham!

Can we put the Jets WRs as an option (JK)? They dropped quite a few balls that hit them in the hands. I think that WRs are starting to hear landry's footsteps

Clinton Portis had his first real game this season, we should be thankful he did, or we'd have lost to a 1-7 team. He seems to be a streaky player, and I hope we will be seeing more of this.

His kicks were: 46, 40, 40, 22 and 46 yards just for those who want to know.
