RB's are worried in Washington

[redsk1]

I still don't see why we made this trade. We all heard how happy the coaching staff was w/ Betts and you have a guy behind him that's serviceable in Rock. I guess you kinda feel bad for L. Betts, participating in the voluntary offseason programs, and potentially being pushed aside for someone new. I've always thought Duckett could be a starter somewhere though. There are only so many plays in a game, someone is going to be left out.

It also, is sad to hear everyone saying trade Betts now. I don't know about everyone else, but i've always trade to "side" with a guy that has been drafted by the skins and wants to be hear.

Didn't Gibbs use to have Byner, Riggs and ???. I can't remember that other backs name, but he reminds me a lot of Betts. Portis, Duckett, and Betts would be even a better threesome than Gibbs used to win his last superbowl. I don't think Betts is gone for sure.

Ricky Irvins was the third RB with that trio. But my Favorite Backs were Riggins, Washington and Wonsley. We have not had a bruising back who can run with the intensity of a T.J. Duckett in a long time.

Ricky Irvins was great. low, physical runner who always got big chunks of yards when he'd come in, always wondered why the hell he disappeared.

Thanks, Ricky Irvins was the name I just couldn't think of. The 83-84 team was also lights out. TJ will add more than many guys realize

I'm not convinced the team is going to trade Betts unless they feel it's not going to possible to sign him to an extention. It will be easier to sign Betts than Duckett, so if we trade Betts now, this time next year we could be right back to square one. I'm really interested in seeing how all this is going to pan out.
