Betts always seems to have hamstring problems in camp. But again DO NOT give up a 3rd rounder for a guy who can only run straight ahead. How about doing what a good front office would do and work the waiver wire???? I bet there are PLENTY of RB's who were on the wire and could come in and help out playing a back-up role and help on teams.

Yeah but we weren't looking for backup/teams type of player, they wanted a guy who could step in and carry the load full-time if needed, not some waiver scrub.
