So 4.4 ypc for Portis, while perhaps not equal to the "CP of old," is enough to carry us this season. When CP complained in that article, his point was not that our line sucks, but rather that it's difficult for anyone in the NFL to run when the defense is selling out against the run. As JC continues to succeed, and Zorn continues to call pass's in situations in which we would have run in the past, CP will continue to have less to complain about I think.

I think you are right. With that said, I wonder how ticked CP would be if the linemen did a radio show and said "just once we'd like to see how many more YPC LaDainian Tomlinson could get behind our blocking".
