cscmtp Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 it just pisses me off that Portis can't be used that way. LT gets TONS of passes, always gets the goal line carries for TDs, etc. I swear Portis could do most of the things he does in that system...

You should vote on which player should be traded, thread... I'm getting yelled at for saying that portis is over priced, and should be traded ...

I'll let Portis prove himself in this Kansas City game. If he does good I'll never write another post/thread saying anything bad about him.

By the way, if Marty can find a way to use L.T., Gibbs can figure out how to use Portis, and he is doing just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalecitymike Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 What constitutes good? I would like to see portis get a +30 yard run, or at least average over 5 yards per carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InGibbsITrust Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I love Portis but saying he's better then LT is going a little far. Even when portis was with denver he wasn't putting up the numbers that Lt puts up. I mean 100 receptions? come on. I wish Portis was used a little more too, particularly in the passing game but you have to think that might take balls away from cooley or moss, so maybe not so great. I think portis is having a fine year, the lack of a touchdown though is odd and getting worrisome. I mean LT's going on what, 18 straight games with a TD?

D-Fence Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Portis is not LT, if portis dodged tackles the way that LT does in the hole, out on the flat, or downfield he would dominate. Right now he is highly serviceable, but it is hard to giv ehim more thant that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooka Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I would like to see portis get a +30 yard run, or at least average over 5 yards per carry. he averaged 5 ypc in the Denver game, had a 21yard run and another big run he had was called back on a questionable hold.Denver's D is much better then KCs.

laurent Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Portis had a shot to get a TD against Denver but wasn't patient enough to let the blocking develop. He'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
