We traded for T.J. Duckett?

i dont like it or really see a need for it. the few times i saw atlanta last year duckett looked like he weighed about 300lbs. and slow. and i thought al saunders really liked lydell betts. so why bring in duckett?

This is one of the dumber moves I have ever seen. What the hell is wrong with Ladel Betts. And in cause our organization hasn't noticed yet, we have no depth on the OL or Secondary. Thats what we should be trading for. Flat out dumb. And i'm not surprised we pissed away another 3rd round pick.

In case you guys have missed it Betts has been pretty injury prone his entire career. That's not a good thing when our main guy Portis is also banged up. Does anyone really want Rock Cartwright getting 25 carries per game?

What if Portis is ready by 9/11. Does this mean Betts is going to get traded or in danger of getting cut?

Then we have one very good RB and two decent backups.

I like Duckett, he's a solid goal line RB in my humble opinion. But I don't think we really need him. Not because we have Betts, but because we have Sellers

betts is great trade bait now? We'll get the 3rd round pick back

If it turns out the Portis is alright, we could always trade him, or another back, for a lineman. It looks like Broughton could be on his way out with another fumble.

If Cartwright is such a cog on special teams, do we carry 4 backs in a game?

in 1982-1983 it was riggins,washington,otis wonsley,in 1987 it was rogers,smith,and jamie morris,and in 1991 it was byner,riggs,and ricky earvins.
why cant it be portis,betts,and ducket in 2006?great trade,goodbye cartwright!

Riggo you are right, Gibbs does love the big back. I think when Gibbs won the fight with Bobby Beathard to bring Riggs to DC, it was the last straw and Beathard left the team after that year. But we did win the SB the next year. This will be a good year, as TJ can run the rock.
