we have definitely abandoned the running game, and the o line is terrible at run blocking, but i also feel that portis is losing a step.

I also believe this is true, however, I feel that the team and some of the fans still believe Portis is still that playmaker he was a couple of years ago. I know part of it is the line, but part of it is CP.

And I'm getting quoted for things I didn't write. Just so everyone knows, I'm not some loon arguing with himself here.

is there another style of loon you would prefer to be?

no depth on the OL and a lot fewer carries to get into a rhythm

The cold, hard truth is this is not a good running team anymore. I mean, we don't have the horses up front, Portis isn't quite what he used to be, Betts isn't anything to write home about, and the scheme simply has not set the run up very well. And I think the pressure of the situation going into the Lions game caused Zorn to try to establish the pass first. I don't think he has abandoned the run, per se. I just think he wanted to establish the passing game first because of how ineffective the run has been.

I actually give him credit for coming out passing first. This team is just out of snych all the way around.

Dead on!
I think the blocking is OK, but Portis has lost a step people.

NO assumptions. We had 0 yard rushing in the first half. Let me repeat that 0. We are not playing the Ravens or Pittsburgh when Polomalu (excuse my spelling) is there. When you can't get a yard or open a hole it is piss poor. We were playing the Detroit Lions.

Your words: "we should also have a running back that can hit the holes considering what he's getting paid"

You act like Portis has been a bum his whole career or is a rookie who is just starting to learn how to run the ball. There is no hole. The O-line gets bitched on running plays. I wont even address this anymore. Because you obviously dont get it. Even if you think Portis has lost a step. He knows how to hit a hole. Now taking it the distance is something totally different. Further more he is running the plays the way they are supposed to be run. We shoud be runing up the middle. But our O-line is not that good to even do that. Its patchwork at best. I think you are in denial.
