In general, we lost the one on ones in run blocking. There were also plays where we won our blocks, and Portis/D. Thomas took it where the hole was not. But for the most part, holes were just not there.

I did notice several times where I thought that Portis ran right up the back of a blocker, seemed odd, and I don't think that will happen as much going forward.
