Re: Portis Injuries
CP's injuries from this season don't seem serious at all, just needs rest to heal up. However, I think his high number of carries and the way he runs the ball just further justify the argument we need to quickly add top trench talent to the roster on the o-line. He needs better blocking up front as well as guys who will move their asses downfield so that CP isn't constantly gang-tackled by 4, 5, or 6 guys when he's gone more than 6 or 7 yards beyond the LOS. It's ridiculous how little help CP gets as compared to say LT in SD. My God, if LT had to suffer the same first i highly doubt he'd ever have broken milestones and second doubt he'd stay healthy more than a few games. Not crapping on LT here necessarily, just point out Portis' uncanny toughness and how important it is we take care of him.
