Zorn's dumb! Why in the heck do you want a running back to run a route when you're quarterback is already getting killed back there. Now with Jansen jacked up and Samuels gone...............its scary to think what the Bengals are going to do too us!

Hot Route (N) - A short emergency passing route in football used to escape a potential sack from a blitzing defense. They are similar in length to short routes.

I agree. There was still time to run the ball. Your not going to be running too many of those plays that he used Betts for against the Ravens anyway..There is no way Jom Zorn thinks Betts is a better blocker than Portis..
