So I guess Torain trucking over Mikell was a fluke? When was the last time Portis trucked anyone? Although I guess Portis is known more for speed than power. But his cuts are always sloppy... dude's always losing his footing... the Eagles game was better, but I still thought Torain was better. Portis can't even seem to stay healthy anymore. What's the point of having him when a new injury pops up after every game so far? Hand, ankle, groin. He's been hanging around Haynesworth a little too much?
Torain can't block for squat, but blocking is coachable, being on the downward trek of your career is inevitable, which I feel is where Portis is going. His better years are behind him, the guy is a 2nd stringer, 3rd down back at best.
