ChrisL4064 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 maybe more of a prediction on my part, but given the new offensive threats and the 3 reciever set, do you see portis putting up better numbers than last year? personally im thinking better, around 1700 or more better. whats your take.

MisterPinstripe Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Yes he will put up bigger numbers. Partly because of our bigger WR threat, but I think mainly because of the way that Saunders will run the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortiz Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 he will easily eclipse the 1500 he got this year, I could see a 1650 plus season with 10 or more TDs... I also see him catching some more balls as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aghar Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 A healthy Portis gets 1500+ for certain. 2000 wouldn't be out of the question though. 10-15 TDs would be my prediction as well. I expect big things from him this year! :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangSteve Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Don't be surprised if Portis gets the MVP this year under Saunders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LWC Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Portis has been very consistent with his rushing numbers in his NFL career. It's hard to maintain.. look at history and he is in a select group of guys who have started their NFL careers with yardage totals similar to his. A healthy Portis will have over 1500 yards. I'll say 1575.. Anything over that I think is gravy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Gut Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I think he'll stay around 1500 yards, but his TDs and YPC will go up in other words, he'll do more with less carries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Worthy Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I see him not having any nagging little injuries like last year. The new WR's will back off the extra run support from the Defence, which mean more razzle dazzle from Portis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have three WO weapons that will keep them honest or we burn them in the passing game. :point2sky:point2sky:point2sky:point2sky:point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholSkin Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Clinton will absolutely have a huge year under 1 condition. No O-line injuries. Don't lose sight of the fact that everything starts from the inside out. These receivers are nice, but we need to take care of depth there. I still say that we would have gone to the Super Bowl if Randy Thomas (and Patten) had not gotten injured. That being said, if the line stays healthy. CP could put up Priest Holmes numbers.

Darth Tater Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Portis has been very consistent with his rushing numbers in his NFL career.

I'll say 1575.. Anything over that I think is gravy. Not including post-season, Portis has played 31 games for us. He has had only 1 monster game for us (150+) but only 7 bad games (60-). He consistently has good games (13 over 100 but less than 150). In his time with us, he's only had a couple of monster runs but he has many good runs. It seems what makes him great is that he is consistently good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 It's hard to say if Portis will beat 1500 yards - that alone is no small accomplishment. It depends on so much more then just his ability. Will the OL suffer an injury, will the defense continue to play at a very high lvl (so as to avoid a shoot out), will the passing game be as effective as it would appear to be? I'll say this, he has the talent to run for 2000 - but he'll need a lot of help to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvo14 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 CP should definitely get some more running lanes with a 3 receiver set that spreads the field, plus the defense needs to account for Cooley also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinSince87 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 im expecting portis to be ran as holmes was so if that is the case i see 15-20 TDs now the rushing yards might be deceptive because i belive the skins are going to have a lot of blowouts so the starters will rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
