Who has the better running duo in NFC east?

i'll take the 1-2 punch of portis & betts following big mike sellers out of the backfield.
portis may not have the total numbers one would expect for a number 1 rusher,but there is not a better all around total back in the league.he's the best rb at catching and stopping blitzes i have ever seen.

Don't get me wrong...I'm a huge Redskins fan and I love there running attack when they are clicking! However, for you to say that Clinton Portis is the best RB at catching the football that you've ever scene is a little crazy! Either you haven't scene a lot of football or you are just a monsterous Portis fan. Have you seen Reggie Bush? Do you remember Marshall Faulk? E. James in his prime? Brian Westbrook for the past 5-6 years?

As far as blocking he is top notch for sure! But lets be realistic when we give the whole picture.

Yeah, LT and Westbrook have both led their conferences in receptions if I am not mistaken. Portis as a receiving threat is a relatively new thing. Last year's 47 catches was his career high, and so far this year out of Saunders' offense he is only on pace for like 20 catches.

Thanks for the support...completely forgot about LT! How could I've done that! If you want to go way back you can even throw Thurman Thomas on this list as well as several otheres. IE: Frank Gore, The Priest, L.Johnson, etc.
