Chris Henry to work out today

I used to think Betts was good insurance but honestly I don't think he's a suitable change of pace back for Portis anymore. He just doesn't do much when he's in there. His best attribute isn't even running the ball anymore, it's catching it. I think we need to get younger and more explosive because Portis isn't a spring chicken either. I think Portis needs to be used more as a change of pace back and we need to get a young guy with explosive potential to be our #1. I don't expect anything to happen this season but next year we should look at getting a guy (could even be a later round pick, i mean just look at Brandon Jacobs, Marion Barber, and Tashard Choice, all were 4th round picks) who could give us a more explosive presence at running back. As long as we do good scouting it shouldn't be hard finding someone who could be got for a late round draft pick.

And I would start thinking about trading Betts while we still have the opportunity to get something for him too. #1 priority definitely needs to be o-line though.
