darrelgreenie Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I know that Portis is our 'bell cow' and has a good shot at leading the league in rushing. The Skins are wisely leaning heavily on Portis and the running game this season. We're gonna need a healthy Portis at the end of the season. I know Portis is durable but i'm worried he might take too much of pounding if his carries don't decrease. Even when Betts was healthy Portis took the lions share of the carries. Now that he has 2 back-ups in Alexander and Cartwright you'd think his carries would decrease. But, last game Portis still got the bulk of the carries with 27 while Shauna and Rock each had 3. Can Portis win the rushing title and still be fresh at the end of the year? He led the league in rushes last year if he keeps up like this will his body hold up? A large numbers of carries in a short amount of time normally spells trouble. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKINSFAN87 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 We need portis fresh for the end of the season, I hope shaun gets more carries because he showed good quickness in the few carries he received last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
