Ultimately, the preseason is for discovering bloodthirsty rookies who can make the roster -- not for six-year veterans.
i agree that portis doesnt need to prove anything, ect but you cant create "game speed" in practice which i imagine takes at least a half to get used to. last night was good to see him out there with his 1st string teammates but i thought he played too long.

go skins!
