G-Prime Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 2 1000+ yard backs? I don't see that happening.. I actually predict Bett's contributions will diminish this year. To be quite honest I'd like to see Betts traded so he can be anohter teams number one.. he deserves it and is capable. I also see Portis and Rock being a more dynamic combo.

budski Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Betts should make a real good impact. Dont know about the yardage in games but expect him late in the game. A good mixture of them would keep the defense guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkyalligator Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Actually it would be nice if Portis gets around 1700 and Betts around 600 or so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRiggoRun Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 That many yards is thinking a little too highly of Betts, but he will have a great year in the back up role and a great counter to the style that Portis brings. I also remember Portis talking very well of Betts and his offseason, and Gibbs telling Portis that he never wants him on the field tired, so he will be great in the power running plays, late in games that we are winning and Portis already has alot of yards and even in the red zone or when Portis needs a breather. Hopefully right around 500 for the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[ghost]] Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Originally posted by TLusby He will not have any more than 350 yards unless Portis goes down for a while. This offense will be built and modified around CP's abilities. I do not even think Betts will be the short down back as one of the FB's will take on that roll. agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXREDSKINS44 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I think Betts will be a great contributor to this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaudry Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Originally posted by goskins Okay 750-1000 yds/season is a stretch....but 50yds/game I think could be reasonable for Betts, especially if the Skins carry the ball as much as last year. Here are Portis' yards per game last season. Where do you figure Betts gets in for another 750 yards?? The only way your play would work is if Portis gets hurt for an extended period. 148 69 94 58 53 171 70 147 81 37 17 148 80 110 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
