We live and die by Portis, the ability of the O-line to run block, and the design of the running plays.

If the O-line does not create holes for Portis when facing just 4 rushing D-linemen, we can't run, and more importantly, we won't be able to pass against tough division opponents.

Bring in Molinaro. He's got to be better than Samuels at blocking bull-rushers (maybe that's wishful thinking). Dockery is a back-up at best. Jansen's play has dropped off too, but I attribute that to his being thumbless.

Portis is due for a monster game. If he puts up a few more sub 50yds per game performances, he will get frustrated and implode on the team. We have to emulate the Denver/Pitt type of O-line. In free agency or through the draft.
