But this thread isn't about Betts, its about Portis...
I just don't see how you are drawing the conclusion that Portis can "carry the team" what has he shown this year to prove that? On the best run of his career he couldn't even score with one man to beat and a blocker in front. Name on other top 5 back that does that?

AP this pass week got the ball knocked out his hands from behind. Remember that Sports Center highlight? That 70 plus yard run proves he is still valid. The argumant against Betts has always been he hits the hole hard and runs straight forward, often getting the balls knocked out his hands and running over his blockers. The last two weeks we haven't saw the real Betts. I think Rock should be in front of Betts. Nowadays, everybody wants to be an insurgent and over throw something. Man, chill! Redskin revolt. Man this team is about to go on a run.
