yeah, i agree with that. addai/rhodes won't be as good as portis/betts, though deangelo/foster might be close if it clicks.

Betts is a good RB, but also is an important special teamer for us. Anytime your no. 2 RB can be a solid special teams player, that's a great roster advantage.

Quick question since we're on the topic of running backs, is anyone else here having the HUGE man-crush that it seems everyone on ES is having? I've seen like 10 separate threads devoted to him making the team. They have something against Betts and Cartwright?

MTK · 07-25-2006, 01:51 PM

I'm guessing you're talking about Lumsden?

People just love the unknown.

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-25-2006, 01:57 PM

HAHA! Yeah, forgot to put his name, but you definitely knew exactly who I was talking about. I mean they act like Betts hasn't been a MORE than effective backup.

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-25-2006, 01:57 PM

I guess Lumsden is the Great White Hype.

FRPLG · 07-25-2006, 02:24 PM

How does Lumsden make this team?

As third TB? Over Rock? I can't see it. Unless this guy turns out to be the next Riggins.

MTK · 07-25-2006, 02:26 PM

I agree there's no way Lumsden makes the team unless there's an injury to anyone ahead of him.

Betts is firmly entrenched as the #2. Rock the #3. Both are valuable special teams guys.

Lumsden's chances are slim to none.

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-25-2006, 03:04 PM

Exactly. Who was the great unknown last year that everyone was so hyped about?

I cant even think of who that guy is, Who is he? I'm naming him "The Bone Crusher" your right he is huge I would think he would be a beast out there. But I do love our backs, I started this thread b/c outsiders were hyping up Betts slightly more than what I think he would be worth to other teams. With us having rock right behind him we def. have guys who can get the job done. In fact Rock is really who I root for and would like to see him with good fortune and have great games out of. Each one of them have yet to reach their heights of potential and are still young , I hope we they would enjoy finishing their careers in DC.

On a side note, I have got to get one of those water dispensers.

Go to your corner, your on timeout till those demons have been excercised. GTripp wow.

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-25-2006, 03:19 PM

Ahhhh, indeed. That's a pretty funny picture. I can definitely remember touching myself to that man's physique thinking he was the next great Skins linebacker.

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-25-2006, 03:21 PM

Regardless, that man's bicep is bigger than my torso.

TheMalcolmConnection · 07-25-2006, 03:39 PM

Yup, we all did. To his credit, he DOES play Special Teams and is fairly beastly. He just blows up blockers.
