I can't believe that play when Brunnel lost the ball and the ravens scored the TD.
Betts let his man go right by him. Didn't even touch him. Then he just stopped like the play was over. He could have recovered the fumble if he had chased his man. I couldn't believe it.

one thing you can say about Portis, he wouldn't have let that play happen.

That was a terrible play by Betts. His "block" on Ed Reed wasn't even half-hearted and then when the fumble was loose, he didn't exactly set the grass on fire going to the ball.
However, if you say that Portis wouldn't have let that play happen, you are living in a fantasy world. Portis is a lot of things but a good blocker isn't one of them. In fact, he's a really mediocre blocker!

I think what he is saying is that Portis wouldnt have just given up on the play, which he wouldnt. He isnt a great blocker, but he gives a ton of effort. Betts just halfassed the half of an ass he brought with him.

SC, gotta totally disagree with you on this one. Portis is the best running back in pass protection ive seen in a Skins uniform in a loooong time. JoeCrisp also mentioned how good he is in protection. have you seen his blocks in the backfield and downfield? he gives it his all, totally not like Betts' give-up.

I think there will be some changes in the offense with Sultan McCollugh being activated to see if the offense can move with another style of back. Portis said he can see the hole however he's thinking too much and that he is being over coached by Earnest Byner. Look Clinton, just sit on the sidelines and share time with McCollough for now.
