As our passing game continues to improve, our running game will get even better. When Portis gets any sort of a whole he always get 6-10 yards.
Portis also leaves the game a lot and gives betts playing time. The one two punch will be even better when they have to respect our passing game.

What we need is for another WR to step up their game if its Patten ,Trash, or Jacobs. Right now we have only one deep threat and we need two. This will open up the field and in turn open up the running game. Brunell did a good job last week of getting big plays when the Seas stacked the line and if we can keep that up teams will have to respect our passing game. Thats why we converted so many 3rd downs they were stacking the line.

i love coach gibbs to death but may he be c portis worst enemy? its almost like there is too much structure in the running game.thats great for people like riggo,who can put their head down and run north and south.but clintons ability to cut back and find small creases,maybe not so good.
What about Joe Washington and Earnest Byner?? They were similiar to Portis in running style and they did pretty good.

Maybe not experts, but close!! Hey man, I'm just using my "hope" tool trying to will Portis a big game this weekend. I think he has to have a big game for us to win on sunday. Either him and/or Ladell.

We need to in a bad way assert a strong running game. This team needs to find an identity that will confuse all who plays them. We can not rely on last minute plays to save our butts. We are starting to get those sustained drives that we are used to seeing from J. Gibbs football team. Only then will this team find true balance on offense. That will open up a variety of offensive solutions. We have a tuff schedule and the only way you can know that you are a good team is beat good teams. Fear none, but respect all.

i don't think we will have a big game for portis against denver, because denver has a great defense that is awesome against the run (see Taylor, Fred, 11 carries, 12 yards) and we will have to win by passing. And our offense hasn't gotten up to full capability yet in the passing game, and the outcome doesn't look good for us against denver.

Mobby, come on man have a little faith. Portis is going to break out in this one. This game will set the stage for this season and how we will reclaim fear in our opponent's eyes. This is what we have been waiting for ever since J. Gibbs left. And now that he is back we will not be a laughing stock anymore. Have faith bro the running game will be in effect.

i still have faith. I might not be very optimistic about Denver, but i have some faith left. I just worry too much about our next opponent. My honest prediction after the giants game in week 8 is that we might be 5-2, with both losses coming from the chiefs and broncos, then we'll beat san fran, and we'll win in new york. So i do have some faith that we can get off to a good start. But these next two weeks will prove how tough we really are.
That's talk about what's really important...
How bout those black shoes? I thought they were tight.
