Portis v. Betts: The Grass is Always Greener

Dirtbag59 · 10-29-2007, 02:22 PM

Portis rushed 11 times for just 27 yards Sunday, and is averaging 3.4 yards per carry over the last six games as the feature back, but Gibbs said he is mulling no changes and is not inclined to use running back Ladell Betts, who surpassed 1,000 yards last season, more often. . . . The Redskins have been prone to fumbles, a problem that recurred Sunday. Quarterback Jason Campbell fumbled three times, and the Redskins have fumbled at least three times in four of their last five games. They have 15 fumbles in that span, losing seven. "They did a great job of making plays on the ball," Campbell said.
