Portis on NFLN "Want's to play for Shanny"

[53Fan]

Sure he has something left, but does he want to do the work to get the most out of it? I have no doubt if Portis goes all out and stays focused he can have a good year. The reason he gets by with so much crap is because every coach sees the great talent he has. If he puts as much effort into being a great RB as he does running his mouth, he'll probably have a good year. Portis is as good as he works to be.

Good point 53. He has never been one to put in alot of off season work. I think after the 08 season, and all the "genius" back and forth between Zorn and Portis, he kind of "shut it down".
