Re: PORTIS and BETTS!!!!!

Portis is as tough as nails and he's also a character guy (in more ways the one, I might add)! I look forward to seeing him healthy again and picking up another 1500 yards. I think they could put Portis and Betts both in at the same time this season, too. They could split Betts out as a receiver if they wanted to.

Man.... I have a great idea... Heath Schuler is in town anyway for Congress... we can give him a weekend job as our back up QB.

Re: PORTIS and BETTS!!!!!

Hopefully Portis will never be a 350 carry back for us again.

Betts and Portis are very similar runners in quality if carry. Portis is the guy who does the things that are often undervalued; blocking and receiving, better. You want him on the field more often, but they are relatively interchangable.

Honestly, out of the two, I think that Betts is a far superior pass catcher than Portis. Portis gets better yards AFTER the catch, but I don't remember him catching as many as Betts did even the year he was healthy.

Right you are MC. Betts caught 53 passes last year in 9 starts (although he played in all 16 games). Portis has never caught more than 40 passes in a season, and he only had 17 catches in 8 games last year before getting hurt. So for now it appears Betts is the superior receiver out of the backfield.

Re: PORTIS and BETTS!!!!!

Considering how many times Betts fumbled at the end of last year, I'm damn happy he's second in line. Plus, I love Portis and I'd kill for his eyelashes.

I think that we should play we both running backs betts and portis just like the colts did with rhodes and addai. Those guys can do a tremendous job together!
