I did notice Portis didn't cut back a few times when it looked open, but he said earlier this year that Joe doesn't want him to run like that. This offense is built for a patient runner. He's supposed to go play side and follow his H Back. I don't know if Joe really meant "never cut back," but it's always easy to say "he should have cut back" when I get to watch it on TV.
