the1toask Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Jesus, again with this? Can we go one week without calling for someone's head based on that week's performance?Portis is our starter-- he works his ass off every play, whether they call his number or not (despite what many on here say)-- and Betts is a great change-of-pace guy who excels in the short passing game. No one can run well without a healthy and effective O-line-- something Portis hasn't seen here in a while This isn't a one week performance rating. Take a peek. As far as him working his ass off, that's fine, but if he is doing that and he is still not producing (he is not), guess what, his playing time should be cut into !

Why because of the piss poor offense line?

skinsince72 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Teams key in on our running not only because of our O line. Our long game is non existent. If I was was playing the Skins, i'd put 8 men in the box also. What's to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooka Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Some of you act like we can just cut Portis and use his salary elsewhere. Or actually trade him for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Portis is as great as some suggest on this thread, we should have no problem trading him! Ummmm exactly, you would have a hard time trading him for something decent because he is not great! Thanks for helping to make my point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siven Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 we should draft the kid from arkansas or trade for adrian peterson. if we cut or trade portis Adrian Peterson is good because he's good. He's great because of his offensive line. Chester Taylor looks like a probowler running behind that line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEPatriots Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 we should draft the kid from arkansas or trade for adrian peterson. if we cut or trade portis How are you going to manage to get McFadden when you wont be picking that high, us on the otherhand With the 2nd pick in the NFL Draft the New England Patriots select Darren McFadden Running back Arkansas:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siven Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 People fail to understand that the offensive line blocking has been completely ****. Running right now is basically a waste of a down. not because Betts sucks, or because Portis sucks, but because our line is total garbarge except for Samuels in terms of run blocking. Hell, it's not even that great at pass pro either. Running backs are dependent completely on their line to at least get them past the line of scrimmage. Our line can't even do that reliably.

CM916 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 This is what I've been seeing the last couple of games: Betts- loss of two yards Portis- no gain If we can't fix our run blocking, neither back is going to get yardage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 This is how it is: younger fans will always stick by Portis no matter what, it seems. Well I must be an old soul then because Portis is average. I really can't stand the way he hits the LOS. He always dances and it is so frustrating every time I realize that we gave away Champ Bailey and a 2nd Round pick for him :doh: I know it was 4 years ago but I don't care that was a dumb trade. :broncosuc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcarey032 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I don't care who is back there. Have you seen the offensive line play? They can't block line of senior citizens going to the early bird special. Right now the Offensive line is banged up and it is really learning how to play with one another. That is why we are seeing more two tight end sets and we are seeing sellers and portis staying into block. The offensive line is in bad shape and hopefully Randy Thomas coming back will give us that needed lift to get us into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
