Going into this year, Portis and Betts had similar career numbers. To date, it's clear that Portis is having the better season. So should he see more carries than Betts? Of course. But having an injured running back get 25 carries a game sounds like a bad idea.

I would throw more if our running game is going to get stuffed as much as it is.

what? Betts is as best a career back up. i totally agree with getting Portis the bulk of the carries. he has proven in his career that he can find the end zone. it does seem that when he starts getting into a groove, Betts comes in for him
