From PFT:

In our view, we think that the Redskins' use of Portis is no different than the Falcons' efforts to cram the round peg of Mike Vick's talent into the square hole of the West Coast offense. Yeah, Al Saunders is famous (sort of) for his offensive attack. But the challenge when taking the playbook to a new town is to adapt the offense to the strengths of the players who'll run it.

It could be that Saunders and the 'Skins have gotten the message. ESPN's Sal Paolantonio reports that Portis will be the focal point of the game plan on Sunday against the Eagles, and that fullback Mike Sellers will be used as a lead blocker in the hopes of clearing Philly's linebackers out of the way, allowing Portis to get through to the secondary.

That's exactly what we need to see. Oh, and the D needs to find its 'A' game.
