Betts needs to step up, step on the field, or step out. Potential isn't worth shit, quite frankly, nor have I ever been that impressed with him the last two years. Let's face it... every time the Skins have suited up to play the last two years, Betts has averaged 4.4 carries for 17.6 yards. Per game. That's not exactly tearing it up. Since he has missed almost 40% of the games since he's been here, those low numbers aren't surprising. The games he actually played in, he has averaged 7.1 carries for 28.1 yards. Per game. Again, that's not exactly tearing it up.

He should lose his spot to someone who will actually practice and play in games. If we can use him for trade bait, then by all means send him on down the road.

Jacobs is much the same, but it's only been one year of not playing instead of two. He's gotta show something or be gone.

Beemnseven... I disagree with you about the KC defense. They upgraded the most important position this off season with one of the best in the business - Gunther Cunningham is back as D Coordinator. They'll be back to their mid-late 90's bad assed selves in no time. Also, the Rams O-line sucks right now.. they have had several injuries to starters (their starting center, Turley's on IR) as well as the annual Poston/Orlando Pace holdout to deal with. This is not the same line they've had.
