Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

I was thinking about this the other night. CP has had a disasterous start. Week 1 -I will never understand why someone didnt intervene and tell him your not fit to play, week 2 missed, they say he will be playing this sunday but I think he will semi be effective and used. With his injury, 2 weeks gone by, and other backs to share the workload it could be possible that he doesnt reach 1,000 yds, this season and that is sad to me.

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

First off, he was cleared to play week 1. Should they have just held him out? You can't be scared to play someone. If the doctors clear him, and Portis himself says he's ready, you play him.

He got tweaked against the Vikings but it wasn't related to his preseason injury.

He has plenty of time to reach 1000. Hitting 1000 isn't even that big of a deal anymore. He has 13 games left, he would only need to average 77 yards per game to do it.

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

You're right, I think if Betts played the remaining games he could rack up a 1000 yds. I think in today's NFL the truly prolific backs hit 1300-1500 yds.

I'll tell you who's off to a good start, and that's Warrick Dunn.

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

Yes.

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

1000 no problem...i say he reaches 1200!!

You're right. Thomas Jones is looking amazing with his 3.0 ypc so far this season. Last years 1300 yard season wasn't a fluke at all. And Cedric Who? looks even better with his 2.8 ypc.

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

Brunell, because while he may be a woman on the inside, he's not a woman on the outside like Grossman.

His name suggests to me that he enjoys men in tight jeans.

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

I just love the fact that he has a Bears avatar, yet can't spell the last name of their Starting QB.

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

grossman has had 2 good games...he wont last...the interceptions will pile up

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

Why not just get OMG WTF LOLLLLZZZ1111!!!!!!!!!!!111?

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

ahhh, yes, the age of immaturity and ignorance...

You better hope the Bears' D stays healthy for 16 games. While Grossman has started hot, he's a Gator QB. He's bound to choke. Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson aren't doing much and Mushin Muhammad couldn't catch herpes on a college campus. Add the fact that Chicago has played Detroit and Green Bay...2 weak teams. Let's see where they're at 8, 10, 12 weeks in.

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

He will be 1/5th of the way there after Sunday.

Hey white trash Boy. Put your acid wash jeans back on and go back down to your parents basement. It must be really fun having no life and jerking off to your Mens Fitness Magazines. Not even DA stinking Bears fans would take your ass.

Wow dude have you ever considered not being such a loser? Or is apathy just your thing????

PS. Wasn't that you denim_monger that got busted playing with yourself at the library a couple months ago. We all know your broke ass can't afford the Internet at your Moms house so it must have been you.

Davey, easy on the big words!

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

Back to the point. Portis could get 1000 yards hopping on one leg. The only thing that sucks is it will be tough for him to get 1500 in 4 out 5 seasons.

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

thats the point 12th man... he probably thinks im talking about a path or sidewalk....makes it that much better for me to know he will be washing my 750 Li when i get out of law school :-)

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

good question. I think this will be the least amount of yards he's gotten in a season.


oh and from now on I'm ending all posts with wahoooooooooooooooo

thats what they say, but honestly, most secondary injuries are cause by overcompensating for the original. The doctors and training staff are also employeed by the team and not the players and i think springs was probably rushed back due to the craptacular defense played in his absence.

that said, I think portis can easily hit 1k, though 1.5k is probably out right now.

Coming from the Bears fan that would benefit much more. Nice try.
This guy is crazy. Bears are in the easiest division. I dont really care for his contributions in this discussion.

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

denim monger sounds really familiar, but i dont remember him being a bears fan

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

portis is the face of this team and he will bring a spark not only to the offense but the defense as well. After the texans we should have enough momentum heading back home against j'ville. they got a physical game this week at indy so look for them to be beat up when were getting healthy. This thing is gonna take off i'll garauntee it.

Year Team G GS Att Yds Avg Lg TD 20+ 1st
2003 Denver Broncos 13 13 290 1591 5.5 65 14 13 76


Yes I think he is fully capable of getting 1000 yds this year. I don't think 1500 is out of the question.

With Gibbs in Dec record + Saunders offense I think he will be a monster after game 8 at the latest. It is just going to take a bit to get this O cranking.

If I could caviat that with a thought (hope?) I think there is a good shot at him getting 2K total yds- he is going to be phat recieving out of the backfield.

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

2k yards is hard, cause he's need 125 a game, and right now he has 39 rush, 11 receiving. so he's already 200 yards behind schedule and this Oline isn't as good as originally claimed. It'd be a lot easier if you switched out dockery for hutchinson though ;)

also, we'll be facing teams like the eagles and jags that are VERY good at killing the run.

That is why there was (hope) involved :)

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

Larry Johnson reached 1700 and only started 11 games in the same system portis is in now. He'll reach atleast 1300 with no more stebacks

Re: Will Portis Reach 1,000 yards this season?
 

Oh yeah and OJ Simpson ran for 2000 in 14 games.

LJs line was the #1 in football and he had a better QB as well.
