otoh, didn't he say he wanted the ball until his tongue hangs out?

I agree with you guys. If we can start passing better Portis won't have to work so hard. But for now we need him to carry our offense.
But if you ask me I would have to say Eddie George had a pretty good carreer. I think the Skins would take that kind of production from Portis.
