Portis: Sit or Start Him?

So Portis at 50% to 60% is better than a 100% Betts?? I say sit him down. Every team in the NFL plays back ups. Betts has carried the load and he a very capable NFL RB. He just needs to hold on to the damn ball.


I agree with you, but to be honest with Betts fumblitis this season, he isn't the nice steady backup he usually is for us. Plus our line is also banged up. I would sit CP out of this one for the simple fact that the Ravens D and Ray Lewis are just going to beat him up even more. Rest him and split the carries with Betts and Rock.Without Portis our offense sucks!!!!!

I guess you got the best of both worlds. He played for the first half and sat the second.

Really all I wanted to do was see if I could get the last post on the page to the top again.

So is CP are whole team?? We can win w/out him. If we can't then something is wrong.

Like i said when he has a bad game we cant compete

True and I dont understand why Zorn benches him sometimes. He must really believe the hype on Betts. If it is an important game. I want the ball in Portis hands. That's how we won the previous games. They may stop a couple of plays but CP always eventaully starts churning. I dont get Zorn. I am befuddled. He went away from his bread and butter and his play calling has been horrible.
