PORTIS and BETTS!!!!!

[GMScud]

It's no secret we're going to be a run-first team. Two starting caliber backs is a great predictor of success in the running game. A simple example are the Super Bowl teams this past year- Addai/Rhodes for Indy, Benson/Jones for Chicago. Not to mention teams like SD, Dallas, Jax, etc, etc. Saunder's loves Betts, Gibbs loves Portis. I'm excited to see their one-two punch. Betts is not going anywhere. Period.

I don't know if he's as in love with him as he was early on, I think Gibbs was a little ticked that Clinton threw him under the bus about the injury in pre-season last year, especially after the way Gibbs has backed Portis from day one, I think he's sending a little message to Portis with his comments about Betts splitting time.

Is it that he's sending a message, or is Gibbs just stating the obvious? With Betts performance last year and his nice new contract, it would be crazy for him not to get touches every game. I don't think Gibbs was saying they are splitting time 50-50. He said Portis is the unquestioned starter, and he also said Portis understands that Betts will see some significant playing time too. He also said Portis is all for it and excited about the opportunity our running game has to help the team win.

Have you ever listened to Gibbs talk about CP?? He practically has an orgasm at the mention of his name. Any one asks him about CP, Gibbs waxes ecstatic about his habits, his play and how much he loves the game, then he gives that high pitched giggle and compliments him again. Gibbs has a SERIOUS man crush on CP.
