Running back Clinton Portis from his media gathering today:
On the injuries along the line: “I’m used to it.”
On if practicing now becomes more important: “I guess. I mean it’s always good to have the opportunity to gel to see how they’re gonna block. It really is learning new guys. You have to learn the tendencies.”
On if it’s hard to block when you’re not sure what the linemen can give you: “You just have to be patient. Sometimes you want to press the run and some of them continue to push outside and then you take the time and some of them might have a stalemate. It’s just knowing who will dig someone out of the hole and who will be stalemating.”
On if the game plan will be altered again this week: “I hope not. We still have to go out and take our shots and throw downfield. Kansas City will present the same challenges. They will blitz. They will give us different looks. They know our O-line is banged up — who don’t know our O-line is banged up? So every team we play will try to get after the quarterback. We still have to block for Jason and get him into five, seven step drops.”
