Tazhog Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I have to disagree with this thread... Ladell Betts is a good back and he returns kicks! I think Betts could start for other teams!!! I like him and think if we didn't have Portis... Betts would be the man. As it sits now, Betts is a great "change of pace" back. He's had some injury problems to work through this year... that's why he hasn't been in there alot... Personally, I think we need to get a Top Quality WR to go along with Moss!

ImmortalDragon Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I'd rather have Rock just because I was a fan of him since the Spurrier days. Betts is eventually gonna cost us or someone a good amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordy Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Betts is a bum and as done very little this year. On the few rushes Cartwright has had this year, he has been awesome. He should be #2 on the depth chart.I say we get rid of Betts and Walt Harris in the offseason. As nicely as I can put it.... DIE.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark The Homer Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I trust Gibbs assements, and I think we're lucky to have good #2 & #3 rbs. Exactly what I was about to say. Sometimes you have to defer judgement to those who know better than you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOOPSKIN28 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Not I..... But that sucks that Rock will be a FA this offseason. He's a great all-around player to have on the team and hopefully they'll sign him back up before he hits the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofer Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Rock - Average YPC - 4.5 lifetime Betts - Average YPC - 4.0 lifetime If you only look at the stats, Rock has better numbers overall. I like Rock, but I like Betts also...They are both good backs with lots of heart and determination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autographcollector Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Betts 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachreiter Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Me too. Betts 100% Anytime we hand-off to a back headed straight up the field and he gets hit but keeps on pounding forward, it is always Betts running the ball. He is surprisingly quick and strong at the point of contact. He does fumble a bit too often, that is the only negative in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I'd rather betts than Rock simple because Betts seems to be a better a blocking back and a very good change of pace back for Portis.Rock is to small and he has fumbled. Well, actually, so has Betts.....several times. HOWEVER, I think Rock is a good utility back. I wish he carried the ball more,..as I think he can contribute more..... but it is what it is. I hope he gets a contract this year......and stays a SKIN. I do NOT want to see him in any other colors. Blondie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Shutup. Betts kept us in that Tampa game with the kickoff return TD. He's a good #2 RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redz Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I say it doesnt matter who you put in there. They are both very good #2 backs that could easily be #1 on another team. They both produce when they are called on and neither one complains about their spot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant15fromNJ Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I like Betts he plays very well in my mind when Portis is resting he catches and runs well and does everything he is asked to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Shutup. Betts kept us in that Tampa game with the kickoff return TD. He's a good #2 RB. Back up. You do NOT have to tell ANYONE to shut up. EVERYONE can express his opinion. Learn that NOW and you will have a better time on this board. Blondie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock is great depth and has done really well when given opportunity but does not have the skills of Betts. It would be a reach going with Rock as the primary back up to Clinton.

Fumbling is part of the game...name one back that hasnt fumbled the ball!! That statment is ridiculous. Also look at the size of Barry Sanders one of the best, if not the best in the game!!

MikeSellers45 Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Why would it be a reach to have Rock as CP's backup? When Betts was out, Rock flourished in the very little carries he got. While Betts has had a few nice runs this year, I still think Cartwright is better. He has everything Betts has, plus he is shorter so it is hard for people to see him.

Portis has been doing all the work. If my mind serves me correctly, last week, in Philly, when Portis was hurt, Betts came in and tore one right up the middle for 15 yrds.

skinfan133 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 are you kidding??? betts is so cool, i think hes great! he is a perfect series replacement for protis, i like cartwright too, but maybe the coaches have betts ahead of him for a reason, God only knows why gibbs brought Brunel:rolleyes:, his depth chart descisions must be terrible too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIDETHEWALRUS Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Yup, Betts is a tall, big tough dude, he's nice to have when Portis needs a breather... Cartwright is the same only smaller I'm not so sure you can call a guy on spends 2x as much time on the injury list than on the practice and game field as tough. I do think that if Betts ever stays healthy he will become a very good back. I think both he and cartwright should get a couple carries a game just to spell CP.

wahoos911 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 bets is a solid 2nd string rb rock is a 5 carry man who can sometimes break some big i dont think hed be good getting 10 or more carries good for being fresh and breaking it big though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
