The major difference between Portis and Betts is, Portis has been the featured back in our offense since his arival. When you're the featured back in an offense in the NFL you become a marked man, and fortunately for Betts he has not started enough games to earn that distinction. Taking nothing away from his performances in the last three games, teams still haven't game planned against him like they would a Portis. In Sunday's game, Philadelphia blitzed themselves out of position on many plays, and the Oline did a great job. I would still like to see his blocking improve.
