Why doesnt Portis lower his shoulder and deliver a message

cant stand rb that run out of fn bounds

 

[6er]

you mean portis?

 

[krk1030]

Porter? The receiver for the jags?

 

[whalewager]

no fuck...i meant portis

I just hate seeing that shit. A RB can get at least 2-3 more yards if he lowers his shoulder.

Because his pockets are straight, if you watch the game-you see how much he blocks everygame? that extra .5 yrds is meaningless anyway

 

[whalewager]

i dont give a shit how much he blocks...pay for your gd salary.

its not the yards...its the message...it defeats a defense

 

[Jstack34]

The defense is already defeated with him running that much over them, no point in risking injury especially when you are running that well

You obviously dont watch enough of Clinton Portis. I agree I dont like the way he has run the ball the past 2 (with both hands over the ball and going down on contact). But he does that to stay injury free but he is the most feared blocking RB in the league. The guy has put people out of the game with his blocks. So trust me defenders know who he is and he earns his salary.
