This is why the Duckett trade is sooooooooooooooo horrible. He doesn't play teams or fullback. One guy taking up a roster spot that will only come in a couple plays a game. Sometimes he dresses and still doesn't get in the game. If Gibbs had a clue what he was doing he would have used Sellers in that role and saved the frickin draft pick and the roster spot. If a real GM was here this move would have NEVER EVER happened.
The trade was bad in hindsight. At that time, they didn't know when or whether Portis was going to come back. Duckett was an insurance policy, albeit a high-priced one.

he may pan out to be an excellent pick up. Right now, as long as he performs, we take the least expensive of him and bettis, and let the other go on to have a pro-bowl year in philly.
Interview with Vinnie yesterday on Redskin lunch. Larry asked why TJ not playing. He responded, it is taking longer to find a permanent home for TJ because he was brought in as insurance for Portis as his injuries were thought to be far more serious than they turned out to be. Since Portis is obviously playing................
The Rock has a home on teams. HE STAYS

Betts, Cartright and Sellers could have carried the load if Portis had to miss time. Look what happened to Green Bay last year? They lost all their RB's and Samkon Gado came in and ran the ball well. Carolina had two backs go down last year. Some 3rd string guy named Nick Goings comes in and plays well. You see it all around the league where guys get hurt and someone comes in and plays well. The trade was bad in hindsight and it was bad when they made it. You just can't panic when someone gets hurt and give away valubale picks. This is one of the reasons the team has no quality depth.

Betts' history shows he's injury prone and he was a little nicked up at the time the TJ deal was made too. Now you're down to Rock who's ok in spot situations but we'd be in trouble if he had to be our starter week in and week out.

Good for his marketability though.
