Ladell Betts...the next Priest Holmes?

[CrazyCanuck]

Actually I think Ladell Betts could be the next...Tiki Barber.

Watching our final game against the Giants, it occured to me why Betts fumbles so much - he's too small. I think the guy is talented but he's built like SpongeBob SquarePants...



Betts' upper body is so flat that when he gets hit the ball has nowhere to hide and inevitably pops out. I think if Ladell could add 20 pounds to his frame he could become a force.

I bring up the Tiki comparison since Collinsworth was saying similar things about him during our final game. He mentioned how Tiki fixed his fumble problems by adding bulk to his frame which helped immensely in securing the ball. Seems to be exactly what Betts needs.

Time to hit the weights LB!
