I will say Portis 400 then torn ACL... Betts has 1100+ last year in 8 games, so lets give him 1400 in 11 games. Kind of random to predict an ACL injury for Portis, isn't it? I wouldn't call that a prediction so much as a complete wild guess. MTK 05-10-2007, 11:50 AM Portis runs for 3,000 with 45 TDs and smashes all rushing records... damn I'm playing too much Tecmo lately. ;) SC Skins Fan 05-10-2007, 01:09 PM Well, in 2005 Portis had 1,500 and Betts had 350. I think we'd all say Betts came a long way this year and Portis could probably use a load taken off, how about 1,150 and 750? Just to be 'scientific' about the thing I went back and looked at KC's stats from 2004. Though Holmes did get hurt about halfway through that season, both Blaylock and Johnson went over 500 yards (oh, and Priest did manage 14 TDs before going down). Wouldn't mind seeing some rushing stats like that (21 rushing TDs, 2,000+ rushing yards)... and, oh yeah, we have Blaylock now too. \| Derrick Blaylock (http://www.profootballreference.com/players/BlayDe00.htm) \| 12 \| 118 539 4.6 8 \| 25 244 9.8 1 \| \| Priest Holmes (http://www.profootballreference.com/players/HolmPr00.htm) \| 8 \| 196 892 4.6 14 \| 19 187 9.8 1 \| \| Larry Johnson (http://www.profootballreference.com/players/JohnLa00.htm) \| 10 \| 120 581 4.8 9 \| 22 278 12.6 2 \| DGreen28 05-10-2007, 02:11 PM You guys seem to forget that this is like the first season Betts didn't sit out a bunch of games with injury. He has yet to prove that he is durable. So Portis starts and Betts is a backup. 1700 Portis and 450 for Betts Paintrain 05-10-2007, 02:40 PM See... I will say Portis 400 then torn ACL... Betts has 1100+ last year in 8 games, so lets give him 1400 in 11 games. Why, why would you even say that? Geez.. :smashfrea If Betts is the main ball carrier in 11 games he'll cost us 4 with his fumbles and none of us want to live thru that.

So Portis starts and Betts is a backup. 1700 Portis and 450 for Betts If both are taking close to equal loads, It improves both of their chances at maintaining durability. If someone is a little bruised up, then the other will get more carries. Betts proved he was at least more durable than Portis last season didn't he? J. Spanky 05-10-2007, 03:42 PM how bout alot of 2-back-set usage with portis making catches in the flat... i dont see any reason both our top backs cant hit the grand mark portis: 500 yards rushng 500 yads receiving betts 1100 yards rushing EARTHQUAKE2689 05-10-2007, 03:44 PM how bout alot of 2-back-set usage with portis making catches in the flat... i dont see any reason both our top backs cant hit the grand mark portis: 500 yards rushng 500 yads receiving betts 1100 yards rushing wouldnt it be more like portis 1400 yards and betts 750 yards rushing skinsfan_nn 05-10-2007, 06:15 PM Both LB/CP will carry for 1,000+ dall-assblows 05-10-2007, 07:17 PM didn't the broncos have 2 1000 yard rushers (tatum bell and mike anderson) like 2 years ago?
