T.J. Duckett watch

Obviously, I don't have all the information the coaches have, but big picture, I'd go with TJ over Betts.

My feeling is the size and proven success in short yardage is something that fits better with Portis than having two, relatively undersized RBs.

In fact, if we had Duckett on the field during the 3rd and 1 right before the 2 minute, I don't think the game goes to OT.

I still don't see it making alot of sense. I say trade him if somebody offers us a decent deal.

Every team in the nfl can say that we're just 2 injuries away from being in trouble.

Unfortunately, one of those teams include the Redskins.

Well that's all conjecture about what Duckett could have or would have done, because we just don't know. What we do know, is that Portis and Betts are finding a real groove in Al's offense. Not to mention that battering ram named Sellers.

I agree that my post was wildly speculative.

However, what isn't conjecture is:

-We didn't make the 3rd down that would have essentially sealed the game.
-We have been absolutely horrible in 3rd & 1 situations (3rd & 2 and 3rd & 3 have been shockingly bad as well) this year.
-TJ is a proven dominator in short yardage situations.

So while it is conjecture as to what would have happened, I don't think it is outrageous to suggest that the probability is that TJ has a better chance in 3rd and 1 than Betts does.

Agreed, agreed.

I don't think it was wildly speculative, I was just trying to use a $50 word:)
