Did you see the Indy game>>?Betts looked very good as a RB and WR catching balls,Duckett is nothing more than a Goal line back or 3rd down back-
Aren't 3rd down backs typically pretty quick since they often run a pattern? When did Duckett become a 3rd down back?
Duckett could definitely be a starting runningback.

i think he meant short yardage.
Like him or not, Riggins does a rare thing today's media. He speaks his mind! He does not appear to puss out for fear of reprisal

duckett can be our short-yardage/goal line back IF...................
we ever get into a situation where the defense keeps us in a close game. as of now, we're throwing on 3rd down.
as far as portis being on the down-side. you never know with RBs. i'm praying he pulls out as many seasons as some of the emmitt smiths and marshall faulks

Of course CP is the man. I don't think anyone in the entire league would deny that he's the best back we have.
As for Duckett, I don't think he should surpass Betts on the depth chart. Betts has performed acceptably, and he has done his job--what more can you ask for? He was here before Duckett, and that has to count for something. We can't just ignore the fact that he has helped us in the past, and demote him because he isn't rushing like CP.
On another note: I'd like to see more of Duckett, so we know what we have. His contract will expire after this year, and we'll need to make a decision about whether to re-sign him. Just like JC, we need to see him in more game-time situations before we can make a decision.

Granted it's a crazy mind

How about the offense play calling keeping the Skins out of close games and start show casing all this talent.
Wouldn't that be refreshing?
