Backup HB Poll

I'll go with Rock. As a backup, I think he would be soild. I think Sultan and Morton are right there too. Simon dosent really impress me too much, although hes strong on specials. Betts is proboly the best RB out of all of them, but I'm pretty fed up with him, he just cant get on the feild. I think we might have to take out the scissors and go ( Snip Snip Snip )

I like Rock or Betts if he gets healthy cuz they r the only 2, maybe Simon as well, who could really be considered a bit of a different style runner than portis and that's usually what the backup needs to be. I still think Betts has a load of talent but can he get and stay healthy to show it is the question. If he can and does, then Gibbs will have a good 1-2-3-4 punch with Portis, Betts/Rock, and Morton.

I think Betts will take the job once he gets healthy, provided he can stay that way. I like Rock too though, so I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the job. Simon has also looked impressive in that he seems to be doing whatever he can to stick with the team. Both him and Rock have looked good on special teams, which as we all know, Gibbs will definitely notice. Of course, Morton is a lock to make the team as a returner, and will be good as a change-up, but not the #2 RB. That leaves McCollough who I see as a "poor man's Portis", which may unfortunately make him the odd man out. I bet they try to sign him to the practice squad, but another team picks him up (Miami?).

McCollough looks more like a Candate clone i am really not sold on him. Simon however could be a valble addition especially returing kicks . I thought Thrash was brought in as a primary PR leaving Morton more time to concentrate on KR giving us more options on ST and freeing up both players for a bigger role on offenive duties.

Betts should not necessarly be written off because of injuries just yet HB do have tough careers but he seems to have bad luck injuries ones which are not related to position or conditioning but just seem to happen. It would be a shame if a guy with his talent ended up leaving football without making an impact but it has happened before. it would be a bigger shame if we gave up on him before he could make in impact however... rember Steven Davis was a skin 4 years before he came on to the scene.. though there again he wasn't a second round pick....

betts has been in juried too much, he may be the best option at #2, but he's gotta be ready to play.

I picked simon, he's looked good in training camp and decent in the games, if i had to bet, i'd say he and scott are guys that make the team... i'm not a fan of sultan, and i didn't really think that morton was that good as an HB last year.

i hope that Cooley gets the job as starting hback. im sure he'll play a lot either way, and there will be atleast one more te in most of the time.

Sultan of Swat baby! I watched him play his entire collegiate career and he just needs a shot (he's not a Trung copy, believe me).

rock has the best football name in the game right now. he's got the carts to carry the rock wright

I've been saying since the 2nd preseason game last year... SULTAN McCULLOUGH!!! He was a national track STAR at USC (Incredible track team history)... and he has good hands... he is my man and I am not jumping off his bandwagon anytime soon...

Well I don't know how many more chances Betts should get. This guy is just never healthy. Wouldn't surprise me at all if the Skins just go ahead and cut him

John Simon is really working hard this summer to be on an NFL roster I just don't think it's going to be ours

Sultan looks to have a very promising future but I can see the Redskins giving him another year on the practice squad in order to fill his roster spot with another position, offensive line maybe?

So I guess based on this poll that narrows my choices down to Rock or Chad. From a pure running standpoint I think Rock is the better choice but I really doubt the Skins are going to leave Chad hanging (bada-boom! had to dust off some serious cobwebs for the 2000 election joke, be sure to tip your waitress). Rock is sort of like our modern day Keith Griffin and Morton can fill the Joe Washington/Kelvin Bryant role
