Portis and Betts: Should We Just Stick With Portis?

AMEN!!!

Is Soup's Uncle actually your uncle?

Bottom line is this....we have 2 REALLY good running backs...Portis gives more of a burst and straight speed in the open, not to mention one HELL of a blocker...Betts is a good change of pace and a good solid backup...he's not gonna be the next Larry Johnson coming after Priest Holmes. Remember too guys, we only have Rabach and Samuels from last year...this IS a make-shift O-line! We still have a good running game which is contributing to Campbells development and the passing game improving.

I still say they put them both in at the same time.

BTW...anyone notice that they didn't have Betts running sweeps this week...THANK YOU Coach!

I don't think Portis has been 100% healthly all year, except for the first game. He has been nicked up a lot and that is probably why he is out of the game so much. I would like to see him get really healthy and then we might see his "break out" game.

Does anyone remember a running back by the name of Stephen Davis when we had Terry Allen??? When Allen left, everyone thought that Skip Hicks would be our stud (another scat back)... now... what type of career did Stephen Davis have, and what ever happened to Skip Hicks???

:duel:

What's your point?

Please tell me you're not relating Clinton Portis to Skip EFFING Hicks...

And comparing Stephen Davis to Betts is a bit of a stretch too, considering Davis wasn't allergic to touchdowns.

Hasn't everyone here daydreamed about if we still had Davis in his prime when Gibbs came back???? Ahhhh....what might have been.

Uhhh... Portis broke Davis' rushing record under Gibbs. And what would it have mattered? The quarterback situation was still a mess when Gibbs came back.

Im not even gonna get into this squabble because anyone that doesn't see Portis' talent or the amount of heart he has simply doesn't know what the F they are talking about. I am glad to see people come to his defense. He is by fr my favorite player in the NFL. Noone seems to play with as much passion and love for the game as him (ok, maybe Brett Favre). I hope he is here for years to come, and I hope to one day see his name and # hung up in the Skins ring of honor. He is the heart of this team and to question that is ridiculous.
