Maybe I'm stating the obvious here but I want to see the Clinton Portis of old. This isn't a knock on CP himself, b/c I think he's still the pretty much the same guy. CP has also had some great years here in DC but it's not the same since he's been here. I almost feel like we're wasting his years here. He could be so much more. How many times do we see him just rush into the line w/ no openings for a 3-4 yard gain. Let's see how this year goes, but how about some different run schemes? How about a little innovation? I'm not really sold on JG's run game, after all what did it produce? 4 yards a carry and beat up RB's.

He's as talented a guy as there is in the league, imo. He can run, catch, and pass block like no other.

2002 & 2003 Denver 5.5 yards per carry

2004 to date Was No higher than 4.3 (2005)

We can get into personel, blocking schemes, the passing game and whatever else effects the run game. These are all major factors.

It's the Head Coach's and the FO's job to utilize a players correctly. I think we may have missed a major opportunity w/ CP though. He's not done by any means but he's done a lot of work in the last 5 years.

I want to see the CP of old. The one that rips 50 yard TD's like nothing. That's what I want to see. Am I asking too much?
