RB's are worried in Washington

If we didn't have glaring holes, we get rid of Rock. Since we do, we trade Betts.

There isnt a hole on this team. We would basically look at a backup I think would have to come at the Oline somewhere.

We also have to assume that it will take time for TJ to get acclimated to the system but if he is going to be used for short yardage anyway then he could get by. This is why I think Betts will get traded for a draft pick anywhere from now till the deadline. Only way we shop Betts now is if the players become disgruntled, a team comes to us with a good offer of OL, or another injury takes place. But until CP is better I dont think we can get rid of Betts. The run game should always be priority 1.

Something to think about. T.J. Ducketts number for the Falcons was #45. I hope there isn't a controversy between Duckett and Mike Sellers because has earned his stripes after last year and in preseason this year. I think we trade Betts, add Sellers to the trio and put the Rock back on special teams where he is most affective.

Tonite at Redskins Park during TJ's interview he said he isnt even concerned with what number he gets.

However good Betts is we have no idea if another team is interested in him for trade. We might be looking at Cartwright getting cut. Looking at it objectively this isn't terrible for the skins. Perhaps Nemo or Lumsden has shown enough to contribute to special teams the way Rock did. No one is irreplaceable. Betts might have staying power, though, with his KR abilities. You can't just give that duty to anybody.

By the way, i wrote this after drinking four pitchers of beer at Hooters for the first time in like 4 years. Tell me if I make any sense.

Its a good point adding Lums Lums to Special teams. They need to be careful in this whole masterminded planning but today is a good day.

:( :( :( :( :( :( I dont wanna See Betts Go :(:(:(:(:(

Skins will keep Betts because he knows the system and he can play well when called upon. I hope Duckett quietly meshes with the other RBs. Winning builds team unity, and the key will be a fast start to the season, either 3-1 or 4-0.

Rock's comment bothers me a little but we'll see how much he meant it when he plays next. He's allowed an emotional response immediately following the news but he better get on Gibbs bus.

Prediction: The Redskins will keep all backs, evaluate Betts and TJ at the end of the season. Whoever wants the most money or least productive is allowed to walk.

Exactly.

Rock will be kept for teams, Duckett for goal lines, and Betts for workhorse insurance on Portis.
