I think that people are looking too deep into this. Portis did exactly what he was supposed to do and unfortunately got hurt (Madden did a very good job of summing it up). This type of thing happens in the NFL. His comments were more frustration than anything. I didn't view it as him blaming coaches but just confirming a widely held view that there are too many pre-season games and that starting runningbacks probably shouldn't be in them. Look on the brightside, he could have blown out his knee.

It is almost a certainty that a huge name will go down for the year in the pre-season and I guarantee they will say something similar to what Portis said.
