Re: Clinton Portis
I have to question why BETTS and PORTIS and taking equal time this year.
Yes, Betts had a good year last year....and Portis had a better one the year before....the reason?
Good Running Backs get better as the game progresses, the more touches they get, the better feel they get as to where the holes will open up.
At this point I doubt the benefit of "keeping them fresh" exceeds the benefit of "improved Yards Per Carry" as the game progresses.
I say...keep Portis in 75% of the time and only put Betts in when he needs a break.
And, BTW....it was INSANE or STUPID to not have your best running back in with 4 plays to go at the FREAKING 1 yard line with the game on the line....running BETTS wide is stupid....it NEVER WORKS....NEVER!
(especially on the left where they are expecting it due to our line issues)
DUH!
Its the annual time of year to place or hopes on DALLAS losing before the Super Bowl....this is still a 7-9 Redskins team...ugh.
