First of all, thanks smootsmack for welcoming me. I really like this board and everyone here shows true intelligence to the game and dedication to Skins.

Everyone has also made some valid points. And yes, I agree the play calling also held Portis back a little. It has been basic so far this year. But I still feel holding Portis back so much in the Preseason was a bit too conservative when you have a great backup back like Betts (and I think he clearly showed that today by making 2 key 3rd down runs for first downs).

I just hope that the line has regained the confidence they lost after week 1.
