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.
