The saints knew what they were up against, but for the first couple of games, I would imagine that D's not preparing for him had something to do with it.

I'd still take portis over betts as a full time back, I think portis has earned his stripes around here...

... but damn betts has looked good the last few weeks!

I just hope the D gets on track next year and we have an offense that can run for 5 yards a carry avg the whole year. That'll be fun...

I think the temptation is to think what you just said, but do you seriously think that defenses are abandoning run defense because of Jason Campbell and our inconsistent lot of receiving weapons? More likely, you shut down the run and dare the Redskins to throw, as they graciously did 35+ times two weeks ago.
