GaryGreenMonk Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 If a running back is ONLY as good as his OL, then that running back isn't very good. Personally.. i think it's a running back is only as good as his Quarterback. When a quarterback is able to provide a great passing threat and spread the defense, then that opens a lot of holes in the running game. For example.. I don't think Joseph Addai is really all that good, if he were in Carolina right now with a back up QB. He would probably suck big time. But with Manning being the threat he is, it opens teh game for him. That's why I think Frank Gore is probably one of the best RB's in the game right now. All that said though.. I do think Portis is done. He just doesn't have the burst of speed or ability to break tackles that he used too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_ Skinshead Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 what makes u think turner can handle 30 a game? Nobody can be a successful 30-carry back with the present offensive line and predictable offensive play calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moviedude25 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Portis is my favorite player but there is no way after his production this year that the team will keep him for 8 million a year. I think he is cut this off season. I don't want Michael Turner though. I'd like to give Betts a full plate of work and see how he can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method man Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 CHEAP??? I dont know about that. Didn't he get franchised this year. No he was a RFA who got the highest tender a RFA can get. This year no strings attached. They will have to let him go like they let Brees go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method man Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 The other thing is just because he is due 9mil doesnt mean he cant restructure and get a check from Dan to recoup some of what he will restructure for. I believe we are approaching cap trouble again in the future. Portis's 9 mil should go to Sean Taylor, Rocky McIntosh, and Montgomery. PERIOD.

pierce51 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Portis is a frickin' china doll. Every week we have a pool betting when he'll come out of the game due to some type of injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf85 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 then portis will be a pro-bowler with whatever team he goes to...thats just how we do in DC lol Funny thing is your right. Put him on a team like and I hate to say it the Cowboys. I bet he would go to the pro bowl. The guys still good on a team with a bad o-line and a horrible coaching staff. It would also help if he had some WRs that took pressure of the running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clathel Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 There is nothing wrong with CP that a decent OL would not cure. I pray we get Turner as well as CP. Every team needs to have a tough RB tandem that can get lotsa yards. Great teams have a second string RB that could be first string on many teams. It is all about depth nowadays. The first time JG was coach here, steriods were not as rampant, injuries were less frequent, the players were tougher, and players were willing to play through turf toe and broken arms and legs, so JG didnt have to use second and third string players as frequently. He could plug any OL player in there for a few plays and the player would play well enough until the first stringer was rested. Now JG has to rely on second and third string players all the time. He thinks that any player is fine to plug into the OL at the drop of a hat. It just doesn't work that way anymore. OL players are skill players now. They need to know what all the different modern defenses look like and understand the ways to react to them and understand the way the HC wants to see the game played. It becomes confusing if you are practicing a modern, complex, integrated system during the week and playing a simple, basic, conservative one during the games. JG's wonderful leadership and offensive prowess got us beat 52-7 by a team that should have beaten us 27-17 at the most. I do not like his decision making. Our defense looked good until this week. Why did that change? JG. Get rid of him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method man Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 What's up with this excuse with the OL? I bet our OL is still a lot better than a bunch of the other ones out there like Detroit where Kevin Jones had a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
