In defense of Portis, his pass protection is so much more physical than any other RB that I can't accept that its a matter of him shying away from contact when he carries the ball.

portis' pass pro is second to none, he is this best i have ever seen in a skins uniform or any other uniform for that matter. and while his balance has been an issue with him getting nudged and going down, i don't know how anyone can watch the first quater of that game and tell me cp doesn't look way faster than last year, i think he is trying pretty damn hard and i have no idea why shanny kept him out and if it was because of the "fall" which i also thin was a slip that is pretty ruhtard. our drop off from cp to any of our other rb's is insane

I really don't understand why CP was on the sideline. It's one of these things that to me doesn't make sense. Now Torain was running well, but why not put CP on passing downs? Or mix it up a bit more than just completing sitting CP on the sidelines. CP was definitely running with more of a purpose and hitting the holes harder (giggity) than I've see before this season.
