Betts had a very memorable wiff on Reed, but that's just one play. We tend to only remember the really great or really bad plays, in between he's had plenty of solid plays that nobody talks about or remembers.

Yeah I think you touched on it, blitz-pickups by RBs are the kind of plays that go completely unnoticed. On pass plays we usually have our eyes fixated on the QB, with maybe the occasional glance to see if any WRs are open downfield. If Portis or Betts pick up the blitzes, I usually don't notice until I see it on a replay.

It's hard to come down on Ladell Betts too hard for that Ed Reed play. It was relatively early in the year in Gibbs' first year back, just about everyone was playing like chickens with their heads cut off. There were blown assignments all over the place.
