Smoot was my second choice, he played a GREAT game on D, but without Portis' game, we'd have no points. He also saved Collins' life with some big-time blocks several times.

That's why I voted Portis. The o-line cleared the way for him rushing, but he was instrumental in protecting TC. Also, the o-line had some blown blocks.
Did anyone hear Madden say that Portis prefers to block when he's supposed to be the check-down? I think it's a perfect example of the type of player Portis is: gritty. He's willing to do the dirty stuff, even if it means giving up the plays that would give him glory. He's not standing there waiting for the ball -- he's looking to knock somebody in the face.
Portis definitely deserves the game ball.
