portis really makes our offense click

[bertoskins2]

I know that Brunnel and the OL played well as well as the D
but what really makes redskins a A team into a D team is
portis

[skinsttw]

Agreed. Portis is the MVP on our offense. Brunell and Moss are not far behind, but CP makes it click and keeps opposing Ds honest.

no doubt

Nice grammar.

brian mitchell acts like someone in need of an ass whimping...........

too true. every play seems like a possible TD with him in there, and i think the team feels that and plays better knowing it. I know Brunell feels better with him in there just as a pass protector.

it's worrying though, because we can't continue to be a one man team. last season was built on Cooley and Moss as well, and now we have Randle El. the talent here is scary, and Portis is the backbone.

They also posted some stats on the telecast showing Gibbs' winning percentage when the O rushes the ball more than 20 to 25 times per game...something like 162-29. Sick numbers. Portis is the engine as he loosens up the D for Ladell and Rock (fumbalya) Cartright AND the passing game.

what's an ass whimping???

[AlvinWalton'sNeckBrace]

like ass whooping but they hit you with feather pillows and nerf bats?

[skinsguy]

Portis definitely makes our offense click, then Betts takes over from there. Who said we could live without Ladell Betts?

[illdefined]

i still think we could live w/o Betts (especially if we could trade him for a decent corner). Duckett made a good name for himself backing up another slashback.

it was gibb's record when we run the ball 30+ times he is almost unbeatable. all other areas he is fairly average

After yesterday, Gibbs is 119-19 when his team rushes more than 30+ times. Amazing stat! You'll probably find the same correlation between most coaches that rush more than 30+ times in a game, though. Running means ball control, which means you're securing the lead.
