Portis is gonna have trouble getting going in this one. It's not just the tackles to concern yourselves with. They also have Heyward/Spicer (whichever one didn't get injured) and Marcellus Wilery. Wiley may not be great anymore, but he's still a very good DE. Couple the D line with a sick Middle linebacker (Mike Peterson) and you're in for a long day.

Is the Skins running game good enough to get through them? I'd like to think so, but I'm not positive. One thing I do know is that the receivers will be having issues getting open with Brian Williams, Rashean Mathis, Donovin Darius and Deon Grant patrolling the defensive backfield.

Offensively I like Leftwich, but that's pretty much where it stops. Matt Jones has all the physical tools, but he's still trying to put it all together. Reggie Williams isn't much, but up against a Rumph or Wright, he could happen to have a big day. I don't know that Fred Taylor can get the tough yards, but he may not need to. If they can throw it will open up the run game.

I'm not too optimistic that this one is gonna be a W. And I know that Brunell is gonna have a lot more trouble this week with the Jags than he did with the Texans.
