Goaldeje Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 So I get my copy of the Sporting News today and it has the Running Backs in the NFC ranked. Skins are third ... FROM THE BOTTOM!!! Couldn't believe it. Bears were above us, b/c they have a rookie? Eagles above us? Dallas? Did Ladell Betts NOT have a 100 yard rushing game last season as the starter? I think of any position on the field, RB is one we are pretty much set at. I'm still shaking my head...:puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg28daman Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 The Sporting News preview "magazine" was a peice of crap. I could have written a more intelligent preview issue when I was 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbrook36 Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Well, that is certainly strange. Betts proved to be a quality backup as well so your RB corps stacks up with anyone in the NFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. S Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 i could see us in the middle, not towards the bottom. When your top back is injured for a game and a half, puts up 1300+ yards behind a weak line, I think that says something. Betts also gvae us his 100+ yard game, so that woulda been Portis's had he been healthy perhaps. Either way, why bother stressing, its almost preseason/training camp, and the time for us to prove that we are again a cometitor is at hand!

Pocono Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 It seems unreasonable unless it's based on last year's stats when the Skin had the 3rd lowest yds per attempt in the NFC and were dead last in rushing TD's despite having the 3rd highest number of attempts. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/statistics?stat=teamrush&sort=avg&pos=off&league=nfc&season=2&year=2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 The SportingNews? You guys actually still read that tripe? The SportingNews is actually worse than Lenny Pasquarelli, Peter King and SportsIllustrated combined. Not so much for contempt... but complete lack of understanding and knowledge of the NFL. Boggles the mind to see people still waste their time on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
