Depends on how he gets his 100. Dallas can afford to give up one or two long runs to Portis. On the season, Portis has 18 runs (of 48 total - that's nearly 38%) of 1 yard or less. He can spring a big one, but the Washington OL isn't good enough right now to give him the consistent running lanes he had in Denver.
Portis managed 148 rushing yards against Tampa Bay, but the Skins only scored 16 points. Despite all his rushing yards, Washington's longest drive in that game was 4:52, resulting in a FG. Of their 13 drives, only 5 were more than 5 plays.
Washington's offense continued to struggle against New York. Of Washington's 15 drives, only two consisted of more than 5 plays. Washington held the ball for 5:15 and 5:30 on those drives. The next longest drive was 2:14.
Simply put, you're looking at an offense that can't string together a series of good plays with any consistency.
Given that, I think Dallas will get plenty of opportunities on offense. Washington's defensive numbers are exaggerated because they have played two woeful opponents. Tampa Bay managed only 6 points against Seattle, and the Giants managed only 17 against Philly

A lotta truth here too..
I think Dallas will load up on the run and let Ramsey and your offense try and beat us via the pass
The same philosophy our opponents used against us with QuINTcy Retarder last year--beat us through the air
Im not saying PR is QC or comparing Ramsey to QC, just the same philosophy
