I am assuming you mean higher average - yards per carry. That I can probably agree with you, but you have to consider this: our OL was without Jon Jansen - one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL - for the entire year. His presence back on the OL will be a vast improvement - and will help open more holes for Portis. For Portis to gain over 1300+ yards with an OL that wasn't completely healthy, was an outstanding achievement. Keep in mind also that he missed the last couple games of the season and could have easily gained another 1500+ season if he had played.
I think if you're expecting the Redskins' to be push-overs this year, you're going to be sadly disappointed.
