If Saunders retains his position it would not surprise me if Betts gets a whole lot more work. I read a pretty good article that in the two opportunities Betts has had to start in place of CP ('04 and '06) his yards/carry average was actually higher than CP's. If Betts can be coached up to be a better blocker I could easily see him get the bulk of carries. To his credit, it also looks like Ladell broke his habit of fumbling in '07. Maybe it's wishful thinking but I feel like he just seems to excel when the opportunities come and improve on the things he needs to. Also, it's pretty easy to think CP will struggle in '08 after taking so much work this season.
