No More Betts over Portis Thread (Clinton Portis the man thread)

The offense doesn't do better when he's in. Portis is leading the league in rushing and when he goes over 95 yards were 6-1.

Today:

Portis-29 car. 143 yards

Betts-5 car. 7 yards 1 TD (TD came after a drive lead by Portis)

Portis has proven he can catch out of the back field so don't even say that Betts is way better at that.

The coaching staff better get in Mr. Betts' face big time about situational awareness. The one thing---the ONE thing---he couldn't do in that situation was get caught up in traffic trying to fight for a yard he didn't need. The one thing---the ONE thing---that could have cost his team the game was going ahead and fighting for that yard anyway.

Simply an awful decision for a veteran to make.

I was actually shocked that it happened. Betts has got to know he's got that reputation, and to do it there? :doh:

That being said, we've got a team of guys who fight for each other. Springs came through there. I still love our Portis/Betts combo and I'll still feel comfortable knowing Betts will start if Portis can't go.

exactly, i don't know what Betts was thinking. But this has been an issue with him for years.

I wouldnt bash Betts, its his first game back getting some serious PT. When he is in stride he is a great downhill runner, hits the hole full of steam, I love to see the guy run.

Now, him over Portis? Nonsense. But Betts is no chump, just getting back in rhythm.

I like Betts, except his fumbling

but he's no Portis... very few are (ever)
