That system defiently had a lot to do with the amount of success he had, Portis has a lot of ability, but take a look at what Griffin did tonight for denver, Griffin isn't as talented as Portis, but look at what he accomplished, big time number's, Denver block's down on almost every running play, then they pull the guard to kick out the end, then it is up to the back to follow the play and cut back when the hole emerges, back's who have good running instinct's, and quick cutting ability, are perfect for that type of blocking, I would hope Gibb's and Buge's get together and put in a couple of down blocking pattern's, to take a bigger advantage of his skill's, straight ahead smash mouth football is not in Portis's best interest, I know he's tough for a small guy, but he need's to be able to take advantage of his cut back skill's, and his ability to excellerate through the hole. He can play smash mouth, but I don't think he will be nearly as productive, or healthy, take a look at his TD run, he used his cut back ability to make that happen, we have to put him in those type's of situation's as often as we can.
