I like the Portis deal. He's one of the best runners in the league right now, and he's only 22 years old. Having Portis back there will ultimately make our passing game more potent. This gives us a better chance to win. As for losing Champ at CB, Gregg Williams will adapt the defense to makeup for that weakness. Getting a guy like Jevon Kearse, for example, makes it so you don't have to have a shut down corner, just a guy (or couple of guys in zone D) that can go out there and hang with a receiver for just a few seconds. Portis in exchange for Champ gives us the best chance to win more ball games, very soon. If it weren't Portis, I'd be reluctant to give up that 2nd rounder, but the guy averages 1500yds/season and is only 22! He'll run for 2000 yds, score 20+ TD's for the Skins this year! He'll break every Skins rushing record that exists if he stays with the team for an extended period of time. With Ramsey, Coles, and Portis, we are a team that is gonna at least make other teams worry about. We'll have a decent defense with Williams at the helm. Sorry if this post seems unorganized, it probably is. I'm just writing off the top of my head.
