I like your thinking Matty. The Skins need to establish their identity and slam the ball down their opponents throats. I propose that Portis gets the majority of the runs, at least 20 touches per game. I would increase T. J. Duckett's role and reduce Bett's role. T. J. Duckett should be featured as a change of pace to Portis. His power running style is a perfect complement to Portis breakaway ability. Ducket should also be used in short yardage situations. Betts would be the third down back. Betts is a better receiver out of the backfield and the Skins should take advantage of that. Rock is doing a great job on special teams. No change there.
