i know but last night just brought me back to those back to back runs to the left by betts against the giants. if we're gonna run for it, let portis try it, not betts.

On those plays if Betts runs full speed he gets in for the TD. He seemed kinda of confused of where he was going to go.

thats why i'm sick of seeing him run it. it's like he folds under the pressure or something.

Mike Sellers also missed his block on that play

well next time i'd like to see portis sweep to the right or a quick slant to kelly or a qb sneak, anything but betts to the left.

That's a very good point. It's hard to tell if Betts just doesn't have a nose for the endzone or if the offensive unit "goofs" more when he gets the call or if the oline even pushes a little less hard than when CP is on the field.

Betts seem to run over CBs, safeties and smaller LBs pretty consistently...he gets destroyed by D lineman just as consistently on the other hand.

So if Betts makes it to the second level he's unstoppable?

He's very good at punishing those his size or smaller, but it's another thing to get gangtackled by 2 or 3 DBs/LBs.
