Portis's talent and drive is beyond obvious. he never just falls, always scraps till the very end, and if he's asked to run into a pile, its at FULL speed head all the way down (all 200 lbs of him).
i used to not believe in this 'vision' crap announcers would talk about runners having, but Portis proves it to me 1000%. that first 64yd cutback was him sensing that hole even tho he was supposed to go (and look) in the other direction. whenever he's stopped or going down, he'll jump north exactly where there's space, in between the tacklers legs, behind him, anywhere. he just senses it. never seen that instinct in a Skin's back. i loved Davis, cuz he made holes bigger than they were. i love Portis cuz he sees holes that aren't directly in front of him, more importantly, he can REACH them. he was awesome to watch on Monday, and he didnt even break any big ones.
