Portis Injuries

[maroonandblack30]

Portis is on the down side, we need a young RB to start carrying most of the load. Give CP 15 carries a game.

Betts looked pretty good in 06 not sure why he doesn't get more touches.... he seems to be a better pass catcher than CP too.

I think Snyder is in the tank for CP and makes sure he stays happy.

Yup, as evidenced by the $20M in guarantees CP received before the start of this past season. For that kind of money, I don't see CP becoming the secondary RB to anyone anytime soon. IMO he should still be our primary ball carrier, but limit him to 20 touches and make sure we have a speedy change of pace back also getting significant work.
