Portis or Westbrook?

[BeastsoftheNFCeast]

Id rather have Portis. Portis is the better blocker, the better runner, and the better red zone threat. The only thing I think Westbrook does better is catch. I feel like Portis ran behind a worse line than Westbrook did last year, and if everyone is healthy on our O-line this year, I think Portis will have the better season. It would be cool having Westbrook be a skin though cause he went to high school in this area (I think Dematha in moco)

With the west coast offense, you may agree that westbrooks catching would be better for us.

then lets put santana moss at running back. Running Backs first priority is to run, 2nd is to catch, lets keep our priorities straight. Besides, Portis is pretty good catching the ball out of the backfield.

Portis. As good as westbrook is, he is not the everydown between the tackles november back CP is. If the Iggles could have run the ball they would have won and SB or two.....besides if we had west brook ....we would be the iggles =/

Westbrook is a better runner and it's not really even close.

Portis is the better pass blocker of the two, but Westbrook isn't chopped liver as a pass blocker.

When Westbrook goes down, the Eagles go down. When Clinton goes down, we don't necessarily. Westbrook is far more well rounded. Clinton may have the edge in agility. And CP definitely is a better blocker.

Agree 100%. Westbrook's value coincides with his pass catching skills.
