SI.com: Portis and Betts #3 RB Tandem in the leaguejbcjr14 03-14-2007, 04:48 PM Yes, its good to see a little love every now and again. I certainly don't think Jones/Barber should be on that list and if so maybe towards the latter third. I also thought of Saints and Jags first when I saw the title. GMScud 03-14-2007, 04:54 PM I would put us at 2 behind the Saints. I absolutely LOVE Maurice Jones Drew (he won me my fantasy football league with his week 16 performance), but Freddy T is old and oft injured, plus neither of those guys are great receivers out of the backfield. But when you think about special teams contributions (Jones-Drew, Betts, Bush), the Skins, Saints, and Jags are def the top three tandems in terms of overall contributions. Big C 03-14-2007, 04:56 PM i think most teams would take portis-betts over taylor-jones drew of the jags That Guy 03-14-2007, 04:58 PM those rankings suck. LT and a stiff corpse are better than deuce and bush. GMScud 03-14-2007, 05:16 PM those rankings suck. LT and a stiff corpse are better than deuce and bush. Oh yeah, how could I forget about Michael Turner and LT?? sheesh. Sports Illustrated couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. This is the magazine that picked the Panthers to play the Dolphins in the Super Bowl last season. HA! 724Skinsfan 03-14-2007, 05:19 PM those rankings suck. LT and a stiff corpse are better than deuce and bush. That's basically what I said. LT and 724Skinsfan should've made that list over Jacobs and Droughns. redskins5044 03-14-2007, 05:32 PM our tandem is way better than the cowboys and the jets. redskins5044 03-14-2007, 05:34 PM sorry i hit the wrong next button i thought they were ahead of us Longtimefan 03-14-2007, 05:35 PM "With Portis hampered by injuries last season, Betts emerged as a star, gaining 1,154 yards while averaging 4.7 yards per carry. Portis will be back this year and the Redskins are talking as if they plan to use both extensively." SI.com - Photo Gallery - Top 10 RB Tandems for 2007 (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0703/gallery.nfl.top10rb07tandems/content.8.html) That's why we have no intention of trading either one. RB, O-Line, and ST were the only parts of the team that worked last year. It would be cruel to upset "all that chemistry" Redskin Rich 03-14-2007, 05:46 PM im happy the skins got recognized for something. now lets trade betts before he loses his value :) ARE YOU NUTS?????????? Betts is the RB of the future for the Skins... I will bet you cash that Portis won't be with the Skins in 2 seasons.:smashfrea | |
