I agree. There was still time to run the ball. Your not going to be running too many of those plays that he used Betts for against the Ravens anyway..There is no way Jom Zorn thinks Betts is a better blocker than Portis..

Yeah ok. Portis has the balls to play injured to and Betts hasn't been doing anything on running plays a hurt Portis is better than a healthy Betts..Best is not that phenomenal a player..Sorry..

I think Zorn made a big mistake not playing Portis in the second half...

Thanks for pointing that out.
