Redskins Training Camp Preview: Running Backs

[ChickenMonkey]

The RB spot will be the big shake up for the roster this yr aka a three headed monster
We will keep 5 RB's this year.....Anthony Aldridge is my wildcard he'll get 500-700yrds

Anthony Aldridge, Ladell Betts, (KR)Rock Cartwright, (PR)Dominique Dorsey, Clinton Portis

I hope so. They need at least 3 backs toting the ball each and every game. The feature back is a thing of the past. There are probably 20-30 backs that could gain 1500 yards if they got all of their team's carries (Giants and Ravens have 3 each), but that formula doesn't work any more. Everyone needs to be a weapon, and everyone needs to be fresh down the stretch. No more running Portis into the ground.

I too like the idea of a greater committee approach but try convincing Portis of that.
