Portis is a double edged sword

Portis kinda plays football the way Allen Iverson plays basketball. Except, up until this season, Portis has proven he can take the pounding.

I've had enough of these threads talking about trade Portis this and Portis' weaknesses that. Enough, we have seen him play and know what he can do.

I agree 100% with SkinsLove24/7...Everyone is acting like our front office on impulse and knee jerk reactions with Betts solid fill in. Let's not forgot Portis was 1 of 2 back to reach a rushing mark (Jim Brown) being the other. Portis is great with the fans and media and want's to win very bad. We have lost way to many "Face of the Franchise" players and I would hate to see our fans and the local media turn against Portis. Besides he's from THE U and thats what its really about

I didnt see one person say that Portis is bad, Portis should be released or traded, Betts should start, or anything like that. I started this thread saying that I like Portis and his style of play and that I think he is great, but I'm just worried about how he throws his body around will affect him. I want Portis to stay as long as he can do what he has been doing his entire career, but I'm just worried that won't be the length of a normal running back of his talent.

Yes, and we've seen him get injured as well. Let's try to make a constructive comment besides "I've had enough of....".

If you've had enough, go to another thread.

If you have something to say, then lets make it constructive, or atleast have a point other than "I'm sick of this".

well with the contract Betts got expect his carries to go up once Portis is back.... and as playing harder I can put LT, LJ and even tiki Barber name before portis, portis as barber have the hearth but not the body

LT yes, but LJ & Barber? Barber's an all around back but LJ can't block, Portis can & does.

I just hope Portis bounces back from the surgeries and injuries better than ever. We all saw what injuries did to Jamal Lewis...

Putting LT in front of Portis is fine, but LJ is a cry baby and Tiki is soft. They may get more yards than Portis, but the point that most of the replys to this thread are making is how Portis plays without the ball in his hands, which is as hard or harder than any back in the league. Tiki chops blitzing linebackers. Portis stones them.

I thought that was jail...
