Betts!?!?

I would love to be in the meeting when the offense looks at the tape and the run that play in slow motion. Betts is going to get some serious s**t and will probably take a few extra hits in practice.

I say bring Portis in on passing downs and Betts in on running downs. Portis isn't running the ball in our system well and gets nothing play after play. He can block and catch though. Betts isn't blocking well but runs the ball with power and would be a better back to move the chains for us.

Yes, I said it, let Betts run and Portis block and catch.

Let the flaming begin...

I'm not cutting Betts any slack but its really not all of his fault. Brunell needs to check the defense at the line. They ran that play 2 times and not once did he look over the D. Just looked over the line at Ray Ray. Ed Reed came in at full speed both times. Kind of hard to pick someone up that quick and that strong.

Yeah, God forbid you be in the NFL and not pick up someone quick and strong!
:confused:

If your in the NFL you should be able to do your job, thats why you get paid all that money. I dont care if Ray Lewis had a 20 rush right at you, you're expected to stop him, no excuses. If you cant do your job, get the hell out. Its not high school, your in the NFL.

On a CB or safety blitz, it is not that uncommon for them to come in unblocked, or barely touched. That's no excuse for Betts, but I do remember seeing our DB's blitzing and either taking a bad angle or just whiffing on the tackle on more than one occasion last night. Unfortunately, Reed just did it the way it is supposed to be done.

what about maybe running for the fumble, or god forbid stop Reed from scoring after let all that happen???

Gibbs should bench him one game out of prinicple. not even let him be on the sideline.

That could be the worst attempt by a professional player I have ever seen. You are being paid to be a NFL player, you have to forth more effort than that. Betts completely blew all aspects of that play. All he had to do was chip him, go down low on him, anything to buy one second, and he did nothing. I have seen kickers make better attempts at plays than that. Then, he makes another half-ass attempt at tackling Reed. Except, Reed was gone from the spot that Betts was running too. Aweful. Due to injuries, I had Betts on my fantasy team. I prayed he did not come back in last night, even though it meant I could get no points out of him. Brunell should rip him a new one for that.

why in the hell is he(betts) the 3rd down back anyways? you and i both know we're not going to run it on 3rd and long! so, why not get morton in there? someone who can catch the ball coming out of the backfield that's fast enough and can make the moves necessary to get to the sticks! why can't we just do a draw with CP up the middle, why the slow developing plays to where he never gets his motor going and thus we abandon the run game and go with mr. "i was good a decade ago" brunell....?!

Betts didn't even get in Reeds way. He almost moved aside for him. Awful awful awful! Also if he couldn't block why not just tackle him and take the 10 yard penalty? He was an absolute train wreck on that play. And on replays it didn't look to be a 100% effort. It is impossible to do a worse job in that situation than he did.
