People say Mason is the same back as Betts and Betts is the same as CP.
When people say that I throw up in my mouth a little bit.
In terms of yards/game, Portis is #2 among active players, behind LT. Of course, Peterson isn't on the list due to not enough games.
Among all players, he's currently #5, behind Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Terrell Davis, and LT. I imagine he'll drop off a bit as he gets older, but he's the real deal.
Check the list you will be amazed. He will be the all time leading rusher in Redskins history by the end of the year. He rushed for close to 1,500 yards last year and could have gotten more but he got hurt and Zorn stopped running him. I can understand he was saving him from wear and tear. But who did we have to back him up. Betts? Oh he got hurt. Cartwright. Not good we signed Shaun Alexander. Then people are crying over us keeping Mason.
People are like why do you worry about the third/fourth back? (see explanation above)
Betts is not good at the goal line or getting a first down on third down. He is our third down back because he catches well? So when he comes in the game you don't think teams know this?
I was saying on another post. If Moss wasn't going to step up maybe we should have used one of the other WRs (At least for a series until he got his head together). What ever brings good results. I named all WRs and they pull Mitchell out of the mix and say if Moss wasn't making a play why do you think the 5th WR will? I was just naming off the whole WR depth chart. You try different things when the same things don't work.
This team needs some swagger and attitude. We need to kick ass and take names later and stop being a punch of spoiled brats and prima donnas. If anyone can stick there chest out it is Portis because he grinds his body to the ground every year.
Zorn needs to utilize his players and make better play calls. Make the scheme work for the talent he has. I think we have as much talent as any team in this league. But we only strive when our backs are against the wall. I jsut want some efficiency, consistency and straight up swagger. That has to come from the players but also the head coach.

Hell yea I like Moss but he pulled some BS right off the bat fighting with Webster. On top of that he got his ass kicked landing on the ground helmet off. Also Webster had a blanket on his ass all day. Why not take him out and let DT or Mitchell come in the game. We have won sh*t with the players on this team so know player should think he can't get his ass yanked from the game. As for Betts he tip toes every time he runs the ball. I was all for letting him go and keeping Aldridge. Betts 1 go season since Spurrier drafted him. He is a career back up making starting running back pay. Our WR were playing scared except for ARE got it done. I want a WR that wants the damn ball. They( T.O., R. Moss, K.Johnson,C.Johnson) maybe a pain in the ass but aleast they show up and make plays.
