I know this is the west coast offense and it is predicated on quick passes and yards after the catch but I seriously believe that J.C. was not doing his part to allow his receivers time to get open down field.
As for Betts, he has been ineffective for 2 seasons now and I think it is time we draft some talent at the RB position. Portis is taking a pounding and who knows how long he will hold up. I have always liked Betts and Cartwright as Redskins but it is obvious that neither is the heir apparent.

No, the OL is not totally to blame, but it's a big part. As they say it all starts up front and when you can't open holes for the running game and you can't pass protect, it's tough to get anything going on a consistent basis.
