Re: ESPN.com's Top RB Duos No Portis/Betts
They're in the group of the worst 5 backs in the league IMO

And I remember for one game..........I think it was green bay........we were shuffling guards and tackles around as if there was a revolving door out on the field. Don't you remember? Wade goes down with something and then Heyer steps in. Heyer slips on the wet turf and does the splits. A 300 pound guy doing the splits.........needless to say he went down and then Wade, playing hurt, comes back in. Fabini goes down and then that left guard, crap his name escapes me, comes in. But then our center goes down so he went to play center and someone else stepped up at guard..........................I'm pretty sure thats how it all happened. But, If I have left a detail out please forgive me. I try to forget about those games. Now that I think about it, Being 4th in scoring and 6th in rushing is pretty good when you have to go through all that! The only thing that pisses me off with Portis is its been about two years now since he's knocked out a blitzing linebacker! It appears that once he hurt his shoulder he's lost his ability to knock out a blitzing linebacker. So he has lost a step. But only in his blocking ability. His running ability is still there. Just give him that healthy offensive line and it will be alright! Last edited by Miller101; 06-04-2008 at 10:47 AM. |

Re: ESPN.com's Top RB Duos No Portis/Betts
The writer is biased. No different then we are biased. but....I will say that it's funny that Portis/Betts has been name best duo for what the last 2-3 yrs in almost everyones opinion and he obviously thinks they are no longer a duo any more even though they still are #1 and #2 on our RB roster and still are doing the same jobs they have been doing for the past several yrs.
I think if I was a writer I would have to atleast use the top 5 duo's that show up every yr then start with the rookies who I think will make their mark even if it was a prediction of the 08 yr. |

Re: ESPN.com's Top RB Duos No Portis/Betts
I can agree with you to a certain degree, because Jones hasn't done anything in the league yet. Betts weakened the Skins rank in this poll.
