Yeah Portis fumbling yesterday couldn't have come at worse time, but I'm wondering why we're not using Betts more. Portis was clearly run into the ground this year, again. Why can't we use a true committee approach for once?
Betts had 61 carries ALL YEAR, while Portis was well over 300 again for the 4th time in 5 seasons in Washington. That just doesn't make much sense to me.
Next year we need Betts in there more, and if he's not a guy that Zorn trusts then get someone in here that he does. Portis had nothing left these last few weeks.

Wow, I didn't know he only had 61 carries for the season. That's not good. I'm not sure why we're intent on shortening Portis' career by pounding him constantly (especially right after giving him $20M guaranteed) when we have a very good backup who has proven he can play at a high level.
Even if we just gave 3-5 of Portis' carries per game to Betts, that would average out to a little over 60 less carries in a season for Portis. Pretty significant as far as keeping him fresher for the duration.
