We traded for T.J. Duckett?

I think we would have gone after him anyways regardless of portis's injury status.we needed a good goaline back and as someone pointed out earlier with those goalline stats, we got one of the best.

Panic move?

Not at all.

If Betts was 100% right now I'm not sure they make this move, and if Portis was healthy I really don't think they would have made it.

I don't think it has anything to do with panic. Panic to me indicates a move made out of desperation without much thought behind it. I think this was a well calculated move.
