DeathByLinebacker Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 With the concerns about SD's groin, don't we almost have to have Betts active for this game? Is he so far down that we're willing to take our chances with Watson and possibly Bryan Johnson taking all the carries if Davis does have to come out?

Atlanta Skins Fan Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I think Betts will be active. If nothing else, it will spare questions as to why he *wasn't* active, considering the injury to Davis -- which would embarrass the team. If he is active, it will be interesting to see whether it is Betts or Watson who spells Davis. Because I don't expect Davis to be the HB for the entire game. (Hopefully that will be because we've got a big lead. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I think they mix it up to totally throw off the Eagles. "Oh, Betts is in, it's a passing place...........crap....they are running and we're in the dime" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamecockskins Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 I think Betts is a better option running the ball than Watson so i hope he is active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Hmmm He'll probably be active. In case Davis re-injures himself, we need someone he can pound the rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 dont underestimate Watson. I think he can pound the rock too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Betts will probably be active this week, but don't look for him to play very much. The staff showed last week they are willing to play Watson at critical points of the game, trusting he won't fumble or make the killer mistake or drop. I don't think Betts has proven anything, other than the fact he is a #2 pick with a whole lot of improvement to make to have the selection stand up on its own :mad: Let's face it. For depth in 2002 the Redskins could have added one of a number of veteran backs who would have been more able to step in and play for Stephen Davis. Honestly, if he had not been a #2 pick do you think he would have made this team as a UDFA with the skills he showed? I think it is questionable.
