jimminie82 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I guess we all were a bit worried about him taking that number two spot, He looked pretty darn good Friday night and i think he cleared the air for some of us who thought that he may even be cut come Sunday. Is anyone upset??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Nope! Not me! I was wondering where our 2nd RB was going to come from because Ladell was hurt. I liked his performance friday and now feel good about backing up Portis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgunner Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I'm thrilled that he showed some of his potential. He makes a nice one-two punch for us. He is our biggest strongest option at rb. Lets hope he can stay healthy. :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I really hope he can stay healthy. He really hits those holes with some pop. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I will admit to being a little surprised that Betts, Rock AND Morton all made the final squad. I thought one of them would be gone, not because of talent but because it just seems to be an odd combination. I was never a big fan of Simon and thought Sultan would make the final 53 but since he's on the practice squad, I'm pretty pleased with the final result. For anyone who is surprised Rock made it, all I can say is that he is a Joe Gibbs-type player and fits the mold and tradition of a true Redskin.

@DCGoldPants Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I was actually hoping we'd trade him to Miami or Arizona. Get some DL help and keep the other RB's. Oh well. Hopefully he stays healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Betts has always looked good when he's on the field. He just has a problem staying healthy, which hopefully won't be a huge problem as he's only the backup this year as opposed to a committee member.

helluvaskinsfan Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 i saw he was good a couple years ago when davis was out,him and kenny watson both played good,last year was bad luck with the injury,he will start somewhere someday because if he keeps playong like that,we won't be able to afford him for a backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Well it is not a surprise, he is our only bruiser in the bunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgensen4Prez Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Betts looked great Friday night and should be a formidable back-up to CP but dont be suprised if Rock gets some 3rd downs as well.....He's a throwback Redskin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neophyte Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Health has always been my issue. I hope he stays that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate running the asylum Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I still dont think Betts is 100% healthy. And I think the Skins are worried about that lingering problem and that is why we keep reading rumors they are searching for still another RB.

Oldskool Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; neither Betts nor Jacobs have done anything to prove that they were worth the 2nd round picks that we used on them. Until they do, to me they are our Quincy Carter… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Hog Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Can’t disagree with you there Oldskool – but if Betts can stay healthy for most or all of a season, I would say that Jacobs is more of a bubble player than Betts. I have seen his talent, but haven’t seen much at all out of Jacobs – pre or regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
