Cruising270 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Once again the skins running back tandum of Portis and Betts is getting some love. They also mention Rock and Sellers which showed someone really knows their stuff link to article 3. Washington RedskinsIf San Diego has the best one-two punch in the NFL, Washington isn't far behind. Starting RB Clinton Portis was limited to eight games last season because of a shoulder injury. That injury really opened the door for backup Ladell Betts. Betts finished the 2006 season with 1,154 yards on 245 carries. Betts, scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent after the 2006 season, re-signed with Washington. His return should make for a very good training camp battle with Portis. Depth-wise, the Redskins are excellent. They also signed former Chiefs and Jets RB Derrick Blaylockand have a scatback in Rock Cartwright. Fullback Mike Sellers is a very good special teams player, blocker and pass catcher. With young QB Jason Campbell at the controls, the Redskins will rely on this deep backfield to carry the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbsheet Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 With young QB Jason Campbell at the controls, the Redskins will rely on this deep backfield to carry the offense. The true test will be when opposing defenses stack 8-9 men in the box to neutralize the deep backfield and force Campbel to throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggeesmoove Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 The true test will be when opposing defenses stack 8-9 men in the box to neutralize the deep backfield and force Campbel to throw. That might be more of a test to see how well those same defenses recover - Moss, Randle-El and Cooley together can certainly exploit such thin coverage, and Campbell (though not yet proven to be a savior) should more than likely be able to get them the ball on a play-action pass or two. I don't think defenses will make a living stacking the line against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
