Hogskin 10-11-2004, 03:08 PM PORTIS is not the problem with the running game. We FINALLY saw a few passes into the flat last night. A couple had moderate success. The other two had great potential, but were totally botched by a bad pass, and a late pass (due to a bobbled snap by Brunell). On the rest of the plays going into the line, he either had a guy on him immediately after getting the ball, or there was ABSOLUTELY no space to run anywhere.
As far as Portis breaking tackles, you could not be more wrong. HIS method of "breaking" tackles is exactly like Barry Sanders. He "breaks" them by avoiding them with jukes and spin moves. I'll take that in a RB ANY time. Gibbs needs to get him into a situation where his massive skills have a CHANCE to be used. Then he will pay off big time.

But you are right. Portis had a MUCH lower percentage of plays that lost yardage. Now, if he can just get back to having a line that is only as bad a DETROIT's at run blocking (we are far worse), then he will be back on track!!
The blame for our running woes has to go to the line AND to Portis.
He's just so indecisive right now, even when there's a hole he seems tentative to hit it, it looks like he's thinking there's a better option and instead of believing what he's seeing he keeps looking, and looking.
They mentioned something like that during the game last night, Portis said he's thinking too much right now and not just running.

That's RIGHT, Matty. I forgot about that. And the amazing thing about that was that he was also purported to have said He was being overcoached by Byner, and THAT was his explanation for the cause of the problem. Someone here (don't remember who) suggested that last week, and it was widely poo-poo'ed. Interesting.
P.S. offiss - I was just funnin' in that earlier post!!
SkinsRock 10-11-2004, 04:22 PM That's because he's doing what everyone is saying he should do and trying to be more patient....but that's not his style of running. I think eventually, Gibbs will find a happy medium in terms of play calling to suit Portis' style and talents, while keeping the "power running" aspect.....eventually. Hopefully soon!

:argue: :silly: Again stop comparing Portis to Sander's, and now I will tell you why, Sander's used to make something out of nothing all the time, Portis makes nothing out of nothing all the time, blocking, or no blocking, sander's would get his yard's, probably the best ever at that, maybe W Payton would come close, we have seen what Portis does without blocking, stop listening to these pre game show's trying to market, and promote, NFL player's, remember this is an election year, I have seen Barry Sander's, and I have watched him run, Mr. Portis, you are no Barry Sander's! :nono:
