ps- portis had 1516 yards last season (a redskins record) on 352 carries. If Betts had the same amount of carries this year as Portis last year he'd have 1654 yards. Just a thought.
Also, if you take away his two injury games (philly and minn.) Portis averaged over 21 attempts per game. Again, just a thought.

I hate to tell you it does fly.Anyone that watches football knows RBs run on teams easier after the half.They gain even more yards in the 4th.Why,because the D gets tried.Portis hardly got any carries after the first and second quater.So you can believe what ever you want.All i know is Portis is the more proven and he is the better RB.
