Betts has also said he's trying to work on his game in the open field. He want's to work on that extra move that will enable him to elude that one defender that's been keeping him from breaking more long runs and taking it to the house. Baring injury, the duo should be interesting to watch.

Is this the Washinton Post blog?

Busting your balls b/c I just read the article then your comments were exactly what I read. Try to read the articles and then form your own opinions, not copy them!

LOL. I'm sure I do it too, just not so obvious.

Well, he's now a 3rd year guy with 7 career starts. He better hit the ground running this year. It's his time.

I agree with you Mattyk72. Portis is doing great but we need someone else to be equally as talented. When Portis was out the beginning of last year Betts took his place and did wonderful.

I think that last year, the o-line took over down the stretch and Betts was a big beneficiary. Don't get me wrong, Betts did a great job, and Duckett never was able to do the same, but I expect that Portis would have flat taken over some of those games with the holes the o-line was openning up.

It is good to have them both.

Man I hate that TJ Duckett trade.
