Re: How many starting RBs are worse than Portis?
Right now the answer is 25. Imagine if he had a line.
I know that some people say that his explosiveness is gone and that he has a hard time finding the endzone. The truth is who is blocking for him? Every single one of his runs is a result of his hard work. He turns 1 yard loses into 3 and 4 yard gains. Every time this season that the offensive line has actually blocked and gotten him to the second level, he exploded for a huge gain (all two times). Even with the piss poor line he is still ranked 7 in total rushing yards with a 4.2 average. As far as the lack of touchdowns is concerned, He has just as many TD's as any other offensive weapon on our team (2). We would like to see more from him and out of the rushing dept., but the truth is that this offense is struggling scoring points not just CP. The bottom line is, give him a line. Adrian Peterson isn't doing it all by himself up there, they have a good line. Last edited by KLHJ2; 10-20-2009 at 03:33 PM. |
