Shanahan compared him to Terrell Davis when he was drafted. His big knock to this point has just been injuries. Yea well lets hope he doesn't blow that knee out like TD Justinchuck189 10-07-2010, 12:48 AM In the short term, this seems like a larger loss than most of us think it is. Yes in pass blocking, but in running as well. Portis average almost a full yard per carry more than Torrain over the last two games (Portis at 5.5 and Torrain at 4.64). If you take out their longest run over the two game span, Portis drops to 4.24 and Torrain drops to 3.33, still almost a full yard per carry more. It seems like Portis is getting more 5 yard chunks per carry. Torrain seems like he is getting stuffed at the line more often and he occasionally breaking a run for decent yardage to make his average yards per carry go up, but I don't he has the breakaway speed to get 36-yard runs consistently.

Portis doesn't have breakaway speed either. There would have been no issue with him falling down in the Rams game because he would have been fast enough to take it to the house and thus not worry about being caught from behind.

MTK 10-07-2010, 07:55 AM What's with the Terry Schiavo jokes lately? = not funny Justinchuck189 10-07-2010, 10:15 AM Portis doesn't have breakaway speed either. There would have been no issue with him falling down in the Rams game because he would have been fast enough to take it to the house and thus not worry about being caught from behind. I'm not saying Portis has breakaway speed either, but he always seems to get 2 or 3 yards when he looks like he'll be stopped at the los. He gets 5 or 6 yards when it looks like there will be only 2 or 3. With Torrain, it seems like he either breaks a decent run or gets stuffed at the line.
