Will Portis be ready to go?

I think we've got another year or two tops of prime Portis and then he starts to decline, although having Ladell find his game and become the knockout punch could lengthen Clinton's golden years.

I think thats why resigning Betts is so important. We need to develop an actual 1-2 punch, with both guys seeing very similar numbers in carries. Portis is the better back, but we can't wear him out. I think if we run the ball about 35 times a game, I'm fine with Betts seeing 13-15 of those touches.
