TJ Duckett can run some people open in the open field, but so can Portis. Duckett's issue is that it takes him 25 minutes to get from the tailback position to the line of scrimmage. Yeah, he will break one if the blocking is perfect. Yeah, he will fall foward. But the guy you want running the ball on the goalline is Portis. I know they pulled him on third down because he already had 9 carries on the drive, but Betts simply can't do the job on the goalline. Should have thrown on third there.
