Is This Guy For Real?

Considering Joe intends to run Portis "until his tongue hangs out"... he may break down over the course of the year. I trust Joe as a good judge of talent. Aside from Portis, he doesn't see it on out current roster.

Timmy Smith had one good game. (One amazing game).

I think after tonights preseason finale, Betts has proved that he is a worthy number 2. If you look back at at SuperBowl XXII Timmy Smith had a career day and that game changed Gibbs philosophy about power backs compared to speed backs. Before that SuperBowl he primarily relied on power backs Like Riggo but even then he had speed with Joe Washington. After that SuperBowl the skins went through many speed backs none really worth mentioning except Ernest Byner. George Rogers was around and took over for Riggo then came Gerald Riggs but it was never like the days of Riggo because he was a phenomenon for his size and speed. Don't get me wrong though it's nice to have a power full back thats 250Lbs to run it in at goal line situations but in todays football I'd rather have an all around quick back than a power back.
