The Rock or Betts?

rock is a bigger contrast to portis, so as a change up, i think he'd work better... BUT, he was playing against a crap run D, so its not a great comparision to betts work. Betts is injured an awful lot though.

Choose your poison, each bring something different to the table and I think our running game would be more successful if we got the both of them more involved in the running game.
Positive post found!!!

I like the idea that we don't have to choose! If Betts plays you will also see Cartwright. It's a great Gibbs quality to have people guessing. Who woulda expected Sellers to catch so many TDs? or Cooley to catch so many passes? not our opposing defenses. Sure they cover Moss and back off when Portis isn't in the game, but we've shown with both Cartwright and Betts that they can both make big plays. Taylor Jacobs has yet to show his vigor for the 'play'. Farris will see endzone before Jacobs. Nonethess there is no controversy for #2 RB. Think about Denver. They roll with 4 RBs. Each of them very capable. And now I feel we have 3 very capable RBs. Let's enjoy! GO SKINS!!!

3 very capable running backs!boy,that sounds nice.youre right lux,i should save this post,for it is rare on this site.i,too am a positive thinker and think todays game should be fairly easy for the skins.if we use the same game plan as last week and hold onto the ball,victory is ours!

Cartwright looked great last week, and while Ladell is probably a better every down type of back, he is injury prone and returns kicks anyway. Give Rock the ball, he's earned it.

Joe Gibbs, can you smell what the ROCK is cookin'?!

Simply both. Especially in the fourth quarter for the Rock. Fresh legs is always good against a warn out defense.

If Betts is indeed healthy and ready to go, you've got to trust him as the #2 RB even though Rock had a great day last week. Betts has proven to be the better option, but I won't be surprised to see both of them get their share of carries in relief of CP.
