Betts...

[DG: Brewer & Redskins fan]

Exactly...I mean adjustments would need to be made but at least there are options. Given player movement, how deep can can a team be?. I know it's such an optimistic view at this time, but there is depth on the offense and coaches capable of leveraging the talent.

Regarding the preseason, you can bet we'll see plenty of conservative play. It's still hard to lose the embarassment of Spurrier's greatest victories...in the preseason.

Anyway, I believe there is a lot of talent in our backfield. I'm excited to see how it's utilized.

I still think Cartwright is the best back the Redskins have. I don't think I've ever seen Betts break a tackle in my life. He runs to day light fairly well, but doesn't do much to move a pile or make people miss. I haven't really been impressed with Ladell Betts since he has joined the team.

This is pretty much typical of training camp. Every year everyone seems very high on Ladell Betts, but when it comes to the regular season and Betts is in the game he's been painfully mediocre. I really don't like to see Betts in the backfield, he doesn't make things happen, not that Rock Cartwright won many games for the Skins, but he's a better runner than Betts in my opinion.
