Portis runs harder, is faster, and is a better overall player. The only way Betts becomes the starter is if Portis goes down with an injury.

Betts definitely is not the power back that he appears to be.

He's not a pile pusher, he's more of a one cut and go kinda back. He needs space to be effective, it's no surprise he had the kind of season that he did last year especially down the stretch. The offensive line was just blowing people off the ball and creating huge lanes.
