I think a lot (all?) of it has to do with different schemes. That he was able to match his career high (from Denver) in 20+ runs might also support that. But that he was not able to turn any 20+ runs into 40+ runs might also suggest that the years of grinding (and vicious pass pro) has taken some toll. I really don't say any of that as a knock on Portis, I was just trying to answer the "was Portis ever a break away runner" question.
