As far as Portis' success equating to the passing game, well sure. If a team is forced to respect the pass, it's gonna draw that 8th and maybe even 7th man out of the box and make running easier.
I think Portis' recent success has to do with 3 main factors:
1) He's finally healthy and in game shape after missing basically the entire offseason, a lot of camp, and the whole preseason.
2) The O-line is finally gelling after all the early injuries
3) The passing game is getting on track.

I agree with you in terms of the OL guys, and Mike Sellers...especially Sellers. I do agree that Portis appears to be finally healthy and the OL is coming together. And certainly the passing attack is getting on track. What made me feel Portis is truly a team guy and a true Redskin is to see how down he was after the loss against Philly. You can tell he really wanted this game. I don't believe it was because he had such a great day....well I mean, that probably had some to do with it. I just believe he, along with the guys you mentioned are here to see this team succeed.
