betts is not larry johnson, and our OL line is not KC's.

he'll get his 300-400 yards. he's a decent back up that could start for a team with a bad RB situation, but not much more. Rock isn't really that huge a fall off in production (though he's more shifty and less power), so i'm not concerned over overly optimistic about the stats of our #2 rb.

If it was possible for portis to be in every snap, that's what i'd do, since you can bust very long runs more easily against stacked boxes than spread defenses. I realize killing portis isn't smart though and using betts more late in the game would be best for the team by keeping everyone fresh.
