Can Clinton Carry the Load?

I agree with just about everything you said 12th, except for what I qouted above. I do think that Portis should be in the 25+ range as far as carries, but at the same time, I think he's perfectly content with Betts getting in for a five or six play stretch. He pulls himself out on occasion, and if Betts is able to pick up 5+ yards for a few carries, then by all means, let him run it to the half yard line, and then bring Portis back in to touchdown vulture Betts.
