Samuels needs to finish off his blocks, not stand around after his initial block. That could've been a huge gain for us.

He did finish off his block that is why he was in the second level looking for a Safety or a corner to layout.

Personally, I love the thought that we have 2 1,000 yard rushers in our back field. When the game is close in the 4th with both backs being "fresh" our offense has the ability to pound the ball and run out the clock. But just because Betts had a good year behind our very good o-line, I do not think that we should hate on Portis because he got hurt. When Portis is on the field he gives everything he has, it's like he doesn't know how not to give everything he has no matter if its pre-season or not...

well, your right he should shouldnt he. not to mention he chipped on the DE to create the hole, then went to the second level and buried zach thomas, and i mean pancaked his ass (with the help of someone else). i will blame betts not samuels on that one considering he did over and above. he created the hole then cleared it, and betts should of done more with it.

It was neither players fault as Samuals was looking for a block Betts had to moving to his right to avoid a D player and they just ran into each other. The funnest one I saw this week was in the Dallas game. I think Dallas had just made an int and the guy had an open field and a Dline man instead of running forward to held block ran sideways 5 or so yards and knocked his man out of bounds. The runner could have picked up another 10 to 20 yards as this lineman was only person close to him and it was so bad it looked as if he tried to knock him out.

Portis' block on Matt Roth reminded me of a few seasons back when he absolutely put Shelton Quarles to sleep in that Bucs game. Quarles hit the ground face first was lights out for a few seconds before he even moved. Great stuff. As long as he doesn't re-injure that surgically repaired shoulder, I'm all for his agressive blocking.
