If you want 2 or 3 bad plays, how about these: Clinton Portis ran with the starting unit for 15 yards on 5 carries with the longest gain going for 9 yards. That means the other 4 rushes combined for just 6 yards. How about those?

I think Portis needs more than 5 carries before he really gets going. The o-line is still learning this new system which is the exact opposite of Spurriers. That being said....the line needs to get their timing, and assignments together before they can really start opening up holes for Portis. I noticed that lines timing was really off in the first two games so can't blame Portis for that.

Beemnseven, I know how you feel. I tend to get that feeling at times too, but you have to be optimistic and believe that Gibbs will make adjustments and this thing will turn around soon. Come on man.....take a sip of kool aid.
