Many people outside of the Redskins fandome would argue that the Skins have one of the better rushing offensive lines as well.

We ourselves might not believe it, but that is what the analysts were saying when Portis was hot last year. Most of them were crediting the Oline play (before all of the injuries).

I tend to agree that Derrick Ward is an upgrade over Betts. Betts is a poor man's Portis. They combine for a 1-1 punch. Portis and Ward would combine for a 1-2 punch. Nothing against Betts but he has no role unless Portis is hurt. Ward could coexist with Portis because he brings a different running style.
