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."

Sorry I mistyped #2 when it's actually #3. Can someone edit that for me ?

I disagree about the Jags and Cowboys. I was shocked to see them in those spots.

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.

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.

Fred Taylor like TWO years ago, most definitely. Fred Taylor now? Nah. Maybe at the four spot to knock the Cowboys down.

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.

LT and 724Skinsfan should've made that list over Jacobs and Droughns.

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.

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.

i think most teams would take portis-betts over taylor-jones drew of the jags

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!
