Do You think Betts is Expendable?

[GMScud]

I think Betts is totally expendable, but he doesn't suck. I'd actually like to see him get more carries this year for the sake of Clinton's health. Hopefully Alridge or Dorsey will make the team and we can use their speed out of the backfield occasionally.

I think the 2010 offseason will definitely involve either using a 1st day pick on a RB, or making a move for a very good free agent. With the pounding CP has taken since coming here, I can't see how he can play more than another year or two as a top tier RB. I hope I'm wrong.

Does anyone have a list of RBs who will be free agents next offseason? I suppose the whole CBA/uncapped season thing will have a lot to do with it.

I imagine Darren Sproles will be available (we could go after Rivers and Sproles next year!)

But otherwise, I'm not positive. Willie Parker maybe?

Haha, we can trade Hall and a future first for AP. That's how we got CP. Although, Champ was a STUD.

I get the feeling CP 1) eat, sleeps and breaths the game and while he can be a little prima i don't think you could find a guy more dedicated to the game 2) he takes extremely good card of himself year round 3) he almost constantly, from what I can tell, adjusts his running style to protect his body and therefor extend his playing days. He became a bruiser in our system cuz we didn't give him the blocking he had in Denver as a slasher. If we do the right things along the line I think CP can continue to adjust his style and extend his career well into the future...that's what I hope to see.
