We'll get Betts in the game a lot, but we're going to throw.
I'm not sure if that's the right call or not to change the run/pass ratio with Betts in, but it's certainly something we do.

My gripe is with not giving Betts the ball more early on in the year to keep Portis fresh for later on. I'd like to see a situation where Portis gets 15-20 carries and another guy gets a solid 10-15 per game.
