And please don't tell me you think Cartwright could handle a full time load if he was pressed into action. At least now we know Betts can handle it.

As far as my faith in this front office's ability to draft effectively, just remember the blind squirrel ... One of my New Year's resolutions was to think positively about the Redskins front office in 2007. I figure sooner or later they're due for a good draft.
Speaking of which, Rock Cartwright represents one of the very few gems this organization has been able to unearth late in the draft. So yes, I've got confidence in him for a limited back-up role. Not only that, serviceable running backs aren't that difficult to find. Kenny Watson was another good example of a decent pickup through undrafted free agency.
Bottom line for me is, the weaknesses on defense outweigh the advantages of running back depth. Of course, all of that goes out the window if there isn't a fair deal for Betts.
