SI.com: Portis and Betts #3 RB Tandem in the league
"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."

Re: SI.com: Portis and Betts #2 RB Tandem in the leagues
Sorry I mistyped #2 when it's actually #3. Can someone edit that for me ?

Re: SI.com: Portis and Betts #2 RB Tandem in the leagues
I disagree about the Jags and Cowboys. I was shocked to see them in those spots.
|
Re: SI.com: Portis and Betts #2 RB Tandem in the leagues
Interesting that you think that about the Jags. Before I read it, my first two teams that popped into my head were the Saints and the Jags. I don't bother considering the co----'s on anything, though.

Re: SI.com: Portis and Betts #2 RB Tandem in the leagues
Yeah I think Travis Henry and Mike Bell should've been ahead of Jones and Barber. I think Jones and Barber do make a good pair though but I would think that Henry and Bell would have more potential to gain a lot of yards in that Denver system.

Re: SI.com: Portis and Betts #2 RB Tandem in the leagues
Fred Taylor like TWO years ago, most definitely. Fred Taylor now? Nah. Maybe at the four spot to knock the Cowboys down.

Re: SI.com: Portis and Betts #2 RB Tandem in the leagues
Isn't there talk of Julius Jones being traded anyway?
Atlanta with Jerius Norwood and Warrick Dunn should be ahead of the Cowchips for crying out loud. |
Re: SI.com: Portis and Betts #2 RB Tandem in the leagues
and why the hell are the panthers even on that list and the giants
|
Re: SI.com: Portis and Betts #2 RB Tandem in the leagues
LT and 724Skinsfan should've made that list over Jacobs and Droughns.
|
Re: SI.com: Portis and Betts #2 RB Tandem in the leagues
im happy the skins got recognized for something. now lets trade betts before he loses his value :)
|
Re: SI.com: Portis and Betts #2 RB Tandem in the leagues
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.

Re: SI.com: Portis and Betts #2 RB Tandem in the leagues
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.

Re: SI.com: Portis and Betts #2 RB Tandem in the leagues
i think most teams would take portis-betts over taylor-jones drew of the jags
|
Re: SI.com: Portis and Betts #2 RB Tandem in the leagues
those rankings suck.
LT and a stiff corpse are better than deuce and bush. |
