In October and November he averaged 3.7 and 3.9 respectively.
In December he averaged 5.0. That was around the same time when the offensive line really hit their stride.
So how much of Bett's success was due to him, or the offensive line coming together and really playing well?? Mark me down for the offensive line.
There's a reason why people say it all starts up front. |
Well if thats the case we didn't need a 52 million dollar back did we?
OK I had about enough of this nonesense, let's get this straight if Betts averages more yards per carry it's the line, but Portis running behind the same line for 2 seasons who can't match Betts YPC is a superstar.
I totally agree with you Matty that is why you don't give up a ton to get a back, because you can win championships with adequet backs and great O-lines, why you ask, BECAUSE IT ALL STARTS UPFRONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
