Why are people still sold on Rock over Betts?

I'm scared to come in here. Where's Blondie?

[TheEvilGeniuz]

they smoking that crack lol

Betts > Rock

[BG]

Who is sold exactly? |

[Blondie]

Rock got 2 carries. BFD.

How can YOU, evaluate a player on 2 carries.

He came in and the line swarmed him.

I guess you didn't notice his play on ST.



Blondie

I'm not evaluating Rock on 2 carries Blondie, however Betts' play all season gives him credibility that he belongs as an important part of this offense and team's overall future.

[[[ghost]]]

heh, lol

i think he should bulk up and gibbs should use him as his short yardage back, but then again, isn't betts a bit strong

And on that, I agree.

It is the smart ass remarks from those who wouldn't have a clue how to evaluate the "team" player that I am directing this too.

He is 3rd on the RB list for a reason. DUH.

However, I think you knew what you were doing by the title of your thread, and the .

He is a great player on special teams. Those players are needed too.

Betts proved he should be the #2 back without question. He probably could've been a good #1 this year, but that's over and done with. Rock has a place here as a st'er, he's got fire and we always need that, but the rb order has to be Portis/Betts as 1 & 2.

I think Rock would be an excellent short-yardage back. Unfortunately, I don't believe that Gibbs agrees. As much as I like Rock, I don't think he'll be here long.

[skins1972]

Betts was breaking tackles that Portis couldnt.. I love portis but he seems to fall down or run backwards when he is hit or even close to a tackler... Betts should be number 2 and at times number 1... Running back by commity. Rock who?

And I will admit, this pisses the crap outta me.

They TOLD him to lose weight. He did........but he was a great short yardage guy with the weight.

I have accepted the had that was dealt him.......as has he. He has proved he will do whatever is asked of him to be the team player.

He is a RFA. I hope he comes back here........if not, I hope he gets a shot somewhere.

Does anybody think that this was a showcase game for Betts, and they will trade him...He really looked good and it's making the Portis signing look pretty bad now....

Seriously, my biggest hang up is that some people think that Portis is far and away better than Betts. I think Betts could be on an equal playing field with Portis if given 300 carries this year, but unfortunately that may never happen in Washington. Portis has proven...in Denver, but Betts isn't given much credit by people.

If our Oline improves, watch Portis improve as well. I still like Betts as a backup for Portis. I also like Betts to always get some carries during the game. I am not sold on Betts replacing Portis.
