Ladell Betts in Saunders' offense

[freddyg12]

Betts will get some carries, no doubt. W/the exception of Riggins' best years, Gibbs has always given the ball to the 2nd tailback 5-10 times a game in games where we're controlling the clock. I think we should all hope that he will get a lot of carries, not because of injury to CP, but because of big leads/clock mgmt. CP lays it on the line every game, we need to rest him every chance we get.
Betts is an adaptable runner, can go inside/outside. He doesn't have blazing speed, but he's got decent speed & quickness in his cuts. Runs strong after contact. I love Betts as a runner, but I wish he could show the same type of aggressiveness as a blocker in pass protection. He often flat out misses blocks entirely cause he's too slow to locate blitzers. He cost us a td against baltimore in 04 by not pickin up Ed Reed.
