Both would very solid additions. If only we had that 2nd and/or 4th rounder.

Funny you should mention it. The RB position coach earlier in the offseason mentioned he would like a change of pace back. Like a Scat back. We did pick up two in the offseason already though.

I would be all for keeping one of the new RB's as a change of pace. Keep the other on practice squad. Then go after a big bruising RB to spell Portis once and a while. Then get rid of both Rock and Betts...perhaps in trades.

Like it or not, Portis IS our bruising RB. He's the guy we pound between the tackles. Hell, he's the guy we pound every down period. You mentioned that Stump Mitchell said we need a scat back. I agree with him. As much as I'd love to see Dominick Dorsey and/or Anthony Aldridge to pan out, I'm just not sure.
