All NOT in favor of Portis deal!

People say that while good RB's can be found all over, a shut-down corner is very rare. Okay, I understand that....BUT...which position wins games??? Yep...RUNNING BACK!!! We have the opportunity to get one of the best young RB's in the league, so I say do it. A top RB will get you at least a couple more wins than an average one. We have been 8-8 or worse with the best corner in the league!!!

I'm still not thrilled with the 2nd rounder, but this is a deal that has to be done. I'm still hoping that Denver throws in a pick as well, even if it is a lower 3rd or 4th rounder, so we at least still have 3 draft picks to work with (for now).

Is he a product of their system? Maybe to an extent, but look at our system now. Our linemen LOVE to run block, and with Gibbs & Bugel in charge, they will be the line they should be...or better. No worries there.

As for the Defense, we have Williams running it now, so that will make it better anyway. Plus, we WILL improve the D-line, and word is that we will go after Springs or Winfield to replace Champ, so we will be fine.

Get this done!!!
