Just in case you are new to football, I will let you in on something. Clinton Portis is one of the best blocking backs in the league. Alot of the blocking schemes involve blocking in the backfield for delayed routes, FB traps, and dump passes to the TE. The article says that they will try to keep the blocking schemes the same so that Portis can have continuity and therefore excel in the passing game. If they are the same, then there must be slack picked up in backfield to compensate on the aforementioned same blocking schemes. My question, given this strange thing that I have never heard of called a "line" (SARCASM), is where will this slack be picked up, and whose going to do it?
