Portis unlikely to play sunday,BETTS to start

Man I really tought you guys scored in the draft with Kelly and Thomas but so far it hasn't been good... Thomas has shown some flashes but kelly hasn't seen the field


Well it ended up another wasted draft for us for the most part with regards to the offense. All I keep thinking about is Taylor Jacobs and how we kept him around and I think he only played in like what 4-5 games for us? It probably was more, but not much more than that. Our Wr corp minus Moss has been somewhat of a disappointment this season.

I think Betts can/will have a good day. Let's not forget how well he played a couple of years ago when Portis was out for an extended period. It's also important to note that Zorn kept the run blocking as it was under Gibbs so his absence this year shouldn't hurt him too much regarding the new offense. Then there is Shaun Alexander who has had some HUGE games playing in prime time during his career and he definitely has something to prove. I hate having Portis out, but I really like our depth at RB (Cartwright can't be forgotten either...dude runs hard as hell). I think the Skins hopes really rest on Campbell and Moss getting back on track (and a Cooley sighting would be nice too).

HAIL!!

Betts has at least one more 100 yarder in his career, although I'm not sure it's going to be Sunday.

OH Now everyone cares what Jason Whitlock thinks? :yeahright :yeahright

hmmmm...I hope Betts can carry the load, if he's heathly. Lets not forget a few years back Betts had a thousdand yard season when Portis was out. While i would love to have CP out there sunday, i dont want to risk is health. We are going to need him for home strecth of our season if we want a shot at the playoffs.....SO i believe it gona to have to be up to Campbell to lead us to victory

I think that if CP can't go and Betts is coming off injury, Alexander could have his time to shine in 08 .. i'm sure he's chomping at the bit to have a monster game on Sunday night and prove he has some gas left in the tank .. don't get me wrong i'd love to have CP play, but it's looking worse each day. We have depth, that's why we have all those RB's .. let's see if it can pay off for us !!

Cooley needs some red zone TD's .. i'm thinking 2 would be nice

I think we're going to see a RB by committee....if Betts was 100% he'd be the main back, but he prob won't be.

man.. dang

hopefully we can still attack, maybe have a bit more of an electric offense, let the pass open up the run for betts and crew

listen carefully. Portis will not miss this game. They are going to have to put him in restraints to keep from getting in the game. If he's hurting that bad, I don't want him playing. On the other hand, I really don't like our chances without him.

30 degrees in DC at game time? BAD Hammy weather
