Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
He definately is a big 2 in a 1-2 punch. The lil fat guy got some speed.

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
This little nugget from the WP makes me wonder if Betts could be traded soon...

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
There is no way we would send a 1st and a 3rd to Denver even if Denver runs the table. If that is in the cards, The Danny is officially crazy. Yeah, the RB situation is a little shaky, but it was not THAT much of a need.

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
i'm actually hoping they just realized they want Portis around here a long time and need a tough guy 2nd runner to spread the work around. Betts was talented, but tough he was not.

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
Isn't that nice. Al Saunders now has a poor mans version of Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson.

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
Is there a possibility that Denver's Foxworth or Darrent Williams might be coming our way in a deal for Betts? Interesting..

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
I had wondered if Saunders talking Betts up earlier this summer was an effort to strengthen his trade value. I'd like to hold onto him personally

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
I like it a lot.
Keeper running backs: Portis, Betts, Duckett, Sellers, White Jr, and either Lumsden or Nemo with the other on practice squad. Don’t think Rock is a keeper this year because of the numbers…We now have 3 runners that are better and a few others that may be better….and lordy they better not keep Rock over Sellers. To me, it seems folks love Rock for his personality, so folks create reasons he's a keeper. My opinion is that we’ve seen Rock’s ability and know he isn’t good enough to start for the skins while we have a few young guys that may have the ability. Lumsden, Nemo, and While Jr. all MAY have the tools to become very good runners. The old standby, Special Teams, doesn’t make sense because the young linebackers we have that should fill in fine, and also appear to have starting potential. Basically Rock is the 4th best runner on the team while the other runners may be better…so you keep the best 3 and the 3 with potential. And I get long winded…

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
Wouldnt he be able to share information about our offense with people? Maybe he's not doing as well as we thought in that. Or do you think Cartwright might be the guy to go?

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
Say we were to trade Betts for an O-Lineman. Whos on the trading block?

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
No, I just know both of them are capable of being Denver's #2 CB and we are in the market for a young, talented CB.

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
For the folks that are talking about how slow duckett is, well, you don’t have to look back to college to see proof he can roll…watch some of the tape from him last year when he broke free. He is only like bettis in the size and hitting areas, I don’t think bettis ever had this speed, even when with the rams early in his career.
So…What happens now? Do we trade betts and use a lightning/portis and thunder/duckett combo or do we keep betts as insurance that if portis is hurt long term we aren’t down to 1 proven runner in duckett, a decent one in Rock, and a few unproven/potential young guys?

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?
Betts definitely has some trade value... the Jets were interested just recently for example.
