Portis NOT overrated!!!

You misunderstand me. It was an aberration because he is not a 13 YPC running back. Do you really think, given the plays they put Betts in on yesterday, that Rock would have had 78 yards against the Cards?

Betts is back, and he is our #2 RB. He has to play - it's that simple. If Rock becomes our #2 RB, then I will argue just as strongly that he has to get the touches, regardless of how his substitute plays. As I (and others) have pointed out, there simply are not enough plays to get the ball to 3 running backs.
