Play to win. Play him. He'll fight through.

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!!!!!
