Portis isn't playing like an elite back, but I don't buy for a second that he's washed up. Even guys like LT have averaged under 4.0 yards per carry in a season. Our inability to run the ball is a function of our inability to block. How many times did you see Portis get hit in the backfield last night, and not just by one guy but multiple guys? How many times did you see the line open up holes that anyone bigger than Vern Troyer could actually fit through. Granted, our #1 RT is on IR, our #2 RT is injured, our FB is injured, but come on.
