If both are taking close to equal loads, It improves both of their chances at maintaining durability.

If someone is a little bruised up, then the other will get more carries.

Betts proved he was at least more durable than Portis last season didn't he?

2005:
Mike Anderson: 1014 yards
Tatum Bell: 921 yards

So, I had it backwards, Bell came up short.

at least u made up for the mistake but i say

portis 1522 yards 15 tds and a pro bowl nod

betts 737 yards 6 tds

and the redskins are announced as having the best running back duo in the nfl while jason campbell throws for 3,184 yards and 22tds and only 7 ints while santana moss has 1148 yards and 8 tds and gets a probowl nod


and jason campbell will get the nod to hawaii after drew brees decides not to go after what happened last year
