Portis is going to complain about his role no matter what so the coach needs to force a lighter workload upon him and ignore the drama.
Betts just needs to hold onto the ball. I don't know how you find ways to get him the ball at less important junctures of the game because he always seems to find the worst possible moment to fumble.
I like the idea of giving Betts a full series or two because judging him on spot duty isn't fair to him.
