Changes at RB for 2007

This subject has been beaten to a pulp. We need both back healthy and running the rock.



Does sound very much like "Betts Better Than Portis" which we beat the hell out of last week dosen't it?

Portis-Betts in '07, man I can't wait!

i'd vote for 'em

I cannot image Portis not being a Redskin. If he goes, what about Moss (his best friend), and Taylor? They are all very close. I don't even want to think about it.

A) Portis has very little trade value ( i'd say a low 2nd at best)

Not that I would trade him but where did you get that idea from? His contract is hard to swallow but the man is worth a lot more than a 2nd round pick. And last time I checked he is 26 and in his prime.

Portis is chomping at the bit to get back in the game with the way the O-line has been playing. I think he's looking forward to staying right where he is.

I think you have a point in this, not that Portis is in my view is in danger of being traded. The business side of the house and managing the cap plays a role, but the most damaging thing since most players love Portis and what he brings to the team with Skills, leadership, character, and annointed Mr. Redskin by most fans. That would be really damaging to what I see as the Redskins keeping core players together and building it around your playmakers. Especially with the comfort that the two backs have working together it is not selfish with these two.

Holy crap. Redskinhog1963, are you who I think you are? The grammar sure is the same. If so, what a blast from the past!

Could it be?

u cant trade portis just based off his salary. no team is going to on that big contract. u have to release him and that is a huge cap hit. no way portis is gone. betts knows portis is the starter betts does alot more than just play rb can play special teams, hes a good reciever out the backfield. plus portis takes himself out of the game alot so betts will get his touchs too next year

Could it be?

Too coincidental for it not to be!

FOX had a stat that I just barely caught -- something about Betts being the only running back in Redskins history with as many rushing yards over three straight games? Anyone else hear that?
Fox pointed out that Betts was the first Washington running back to ever have back-to-back 150+ yard rushing games.
