What they should do is have a 2 back set with ARE, Moss and Cooley in all the time.

And besides that, on passing plays it would be nice to have Betts in there for a check down route and portis in for blocking/play action. Also Portis, though his hands aren't as sure as Betts, is a threat for a first down on little screens and other short passes out of the backfield.
Do many NFL teams utilize this formation? If not how come? If so why don't the Redskins?

I dont know of any NFL team that uses the wishbone...but...it doesn't neccessary need to be a wishbone....Betts could also line up as a full back for portis...he is big enough to lead block...he could take the ball...he could pass block or go out for a pass.....I just dont understand why they aren't both in there at the same time....we only have 3 legit recievers....keep em in!
We have 2 quality backs....keep em both in with occasional breaks....am I an idiot or did I miss something here?
Don't you want your 5 playmakers in all the time?....DUH!!!
