Why did Portis and Turner get in over D-will?

because D-Will just got hot

Youre exactly right, early in the year Portis was tearing it up along with Turner. D-Wil has kinda just exploded on the scene, nationally anyway. No big deal, I think he will be there when its all said and done. Also remember, fans vote and there are tons of Redskins fans. I remember looking a month ago and there were like 8 or 9 Skins that were leading in votes at their respective positions.

Portis is actually about as effeciant as Williams. It's Turner and Peterson who are the odd men out in terms of being effeciant carrying the ball, but Peterson gets the nod because of the ridiculous yardage. Keep in mind we are not looking at YPC, but success rate (percentage of runs that are successful, whether that be converting a first down or gaining a set amount of yardage on 1st and 10). Portis has been VERY good in that regard. So has Brandon Jacobs (1st in effeciancy). Williams is 2nd or 3rd. Peterson is low and is also hurt by his high fumble totals. Jacobs was hurt by low attempts and yardage compared to the other top backs.

It should have Portis as the first choice, Williams as the second choice and Peterson as the third with Jacobs or Turner as the alternate.
