Portis may be our best blocker. Without him, McNabb would have been sacked a lot, especially from the Dallas interior linemen and LBs. Portis just nailed them ... repeatedly. He came to play and he proved to me (again) that he has no problem handling the truly unglamorous stuff. I recall a number of years ago he absolutely leveled a blitzing Sheldon Quarles (sp?) (Tampa). He blocks with a real purpose. Only one other back I can recall really did it with that level of effort, and that was Sweetness. And there's no higher compliment than that.
