Does he see the same things we do?

Little article bout the skins written by Baldinger. Made a few good points and seems to see it from a different point of view than others.....


Watch out for Washington in 2007 - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

i hate baldinger

[wolfeskins]

i don't care too much for baldinger but that was , at least, a pretty fair and accurate article.

Except for this:

if coach Joe Gibbs doesn't have an open competition for the starting running back job next summer, something is wrong.

He's completely missing the point of having two quality RBs. Both will play, although CP will technically be the #1 back.

It will be like Bush and Mcalister...I think portis might be better for sweep plays and short yardage..and betts for long yards..

I kinda see where youre going but, whereas Betts gets a big hole and pops it for 10-15, Portis is gone and he's good for 60+ and a TD. I am more partial to Portis just because of his Skins loyalty but I LOVE Betts!

He is an excellent runner and could start for a big handful of teams.....

CP doesn't fumble the ball away... he's our #1

I don't disagree in the slightest - my point is that his carries-per-game average is going to go down some because Betts is going to get more carries each game. I think it will end up with Betts getting 10-15 and CP getting 15-20 a game. No question that CP is the #1 back, but it won't be like how LT is the #1 back, getting 80-90% of the carries each game. That was my only point in saying "technically".

That will be good for Portis anyway...Portis always seems to have those little nagging injuries, so having Betts will help keep him fresh.

sounds like one of us "dumb fans"

[Beemnseven]

I'm expecting big things from this offense next year. Assuming Campbell progresses, and the O-line stays healthy, there's no reason this collection of players can't be in the top five throughout the '07 season.

Next year will be the 5th season playing together for 4/5 of the offensive line (Rabach) -- that kind of continuity is virtually unheard of. Just one or two adequate backups, like Todd Wade, who can step in for 2 or 3 games, and it'll be tough to find a better line in the league.

Defense though, is another issue. There's more work there than Baldinger says.

I agree with his viewpoint because it's true this team is much too talented to be where it is at this point in the season. I share along with him a vison for the future.
