Ladell Betts is he worthy of praise?

Ladell may be the best backup in the NFL, his one weekness is his ability to stay healthy, although he hasen't shown much in the way of blocking either, but he's as well balanced as a runner as you could ask for.

Does anyone remember when Betts' poor blocking or rather perfect opportunity to block and he let Ed Reed of the Ravens blitz, strip Brunell, and return it for paydirt??? In that game Betts did nothing but make costly plays that resulted in the Ravens winning and Baltimore Skins fans have that as the only record and topic of conversation amongst the city between the two teams.


This goes along with all the previous conversations of nit-picking the Offense under a microscope to find particles. Guilty as charged. Still heading to Florida.

^^^ yes. That was a tough loss for some reason. I mean more than other games we lost back then. We had the game and special teams and that shit lost it for us. I always have blaimed betts for that. He just was thinking "shit" when reed 'broke' away. Then when reed passed him betts just stopped and watched in horror. I can remember thinking if he ran after reed and then reed forced the fumble the ball would be moving around enough to give betts a chance to recover it. However, betts just stopped and watched then the ball came out and he started to move.


I think betts could be a starter in many places. He is going to be huge this year. Him and portis are going to be mixing it up. Portis will get 16 carries a game with a nice 10 yards per rush average with betts on 15 carries. They are going to be unstoppable. Betts is going to be our bettis. I have called him the little bus for a while.

yea that one was bad but in my memory the mosy devastating fumble for a reskins team ever was gerald riggs fumble against philly in the last 30 seconds allowing their defense to win the game in 88

and i do believe our skins dont really miss that much when ladell is in there giving clinton p a breather

What about when the 0-4 Redskins were holding onto a 7-6 lead against the 0-4 Cowboys on Monday night and Davis fumbled while all the Redskins were trying to do was run out the clock, and then they went on to lose 9-7? That was dreadful

i hate dallas :(


35-7 :) Those numbers make me happy

35-7

betts would start on a bad team. he's a good #2 though.

People want to dwell on the negatives all the time. Remember the missed block by Betts? How about the fumble?

How about the fact we have a pretty damn good backup and from the sounds of things, he's only going to be more involved with the offense this season which is definitely a good thing.

Things could be a lot worse.

at this point, the only team that i could see betts starting for is SF. he still is a very dependable backup to CP, but i think thats all he will ever be is a backup.

Honestly, I thought that play was what really lit a frie under Betts ass. I really thought he picked up his play after that game, and in my opinion he had a great 2005. Remember the Tampa game?

I'm really excited to see what the guy brings to the table this year.

They have Frank Gore, who was a rookie from Miami last year. He's mad good, but he only got taken in the 3rd round because he tore both of his ACLs in college, but he did well when he played. Last year as a rookie he got over 600 yards at 4.8 yards per carry. He's gonna be good this year

barlow blows though
