Yeah he didn't get blown up, he got hit hard. He stayed up though and if Simms hadn't rapped his legs he would have kept going. It's not Bett's fault Simms got into the backfield that fast.

Re: Portis and Betts: Should We Just Stick With Portis?
I would like to see Mr. Sellers get some carries early , to wear down the defence . Give teams one more thing to worry about , then those toss plays to CP will pick up some huge gains . When are we going to see R. El throw a td to CP ? Once the Line gels , JC keeps getting better , CP / Moss near 100% the O should be just fine ,,,, just need to get 7 pts on our long drives and after turnovers !!

And just as I see the play as a supposed power back getting overpowered, the Betts lovers see it completely different. I've already stated that I like the current situation with the running backs, but some people still seem to think that Betts' production last season has anything to do with this season, in which Betts' numbers are below average. |

Re: Portis and Betts: Should We Just Stick With Portis?
I'm so sick of people acting like pointing out Ladell Betts flaws (like his 2.7 ypc) is somehow tearing him down. He doesn't get in the end zone and he's not running well this season. I like the way they're being used this year, but I feel the need to disspell these rumors about Ladell Betts being a power back or a "Gibbs style runner" because those are both false. He's a good backup. Period.
As for being the best backup in the league, here are a few people who are better: Marion Barber, Maurice Jones-Drew, Adrian Peterson and Michael Turner (as you stated). I would consider adding Najeh Davenport to that list. Does that mean Ladell is a bad back? No, I've never said that. I'm just trying to illustrate that Clinton is the better back, and that Betts's one good season doesn't make him better than everyone else in the NFL. |

Re: Portis and Betts: Should We Just Stick With Portis?
WTF! If we gave Betts the kind of treatment Barber gets he'd have more yards than Barber already. Dallas lets jones wear down the D's front seven for 3 qtrs and then Barber comes in w/ a head full of steam so it looks like he can mow people down on call. We've used Betts sporadically (once every few plays) throughout a game to give CP rest. It's totally different. Adrian Peterson is only the backup because he's a rookie, and there's no way Jones-Drew is as good all around as Betts.

Also, as of right now, Ladell Betts is the 87th best back in the league as far as YPC |

Why are you taking the time to watch every Dallas game? This is suspicious. |
