youbotymyboty Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I read this guy is going to be a free agent. He seems to fit the mold of Marv's young, hungry, ready to break out kind of signing. What about a duel tag and trade with nate c to washington? I know there was a promise not to tag NC by the bills.. but as they all say this is a "business".......Of course I would dump our current hollywood halfback before any of this to the highest bidder. peace.

Cornerville Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I think Betts signed a 5 year deal with the Skins, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBills12 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 He resigned with Washington during the season....I live in the DC area, and this guy is a beast...much better than Portis imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderswr80 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 You watch, Portis might be a surprise cut this offseason......injury prone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 You watch, Portis might be a surprise cut this offseason......injury prone! He'd get traded before cut. I think he'd fetch a third at worst. But I certainly wouldn't want my team trading for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I wouldn't mind having TJ Duckett here though. He's never been given a fair shake--and he is a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I for one am not overly suprised ladell betts had a good year. Al Saunders offenses have done nothing but produce good rb numbers. That's not to take anything away from LJ or Priest holmes but even derrick blaylock produced well in limited opportunity before LJ took over. I also wouldnt be suprised if portis got cut. Betts fits the mold of the type of rb al saunders prefers as he's a better receiving back then portis is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tj Duckett is a one dimensional rb and probably slower then anthony thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 He resigned with Washington during the season....I live in the DC area, and this guy is a beast...much better than Portis imo He's better than Portis in everything but speed- he just can't finish off his runs once he gets in the open field. He's a lesser version of Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Here's betting that Portis gets cut. He's too injury prone and has a high salary to be attractive to many teams. Also, Gibbs prefers bigger, power-type backs like Betts and Duckett. I will bet that once Duckett goes to camp and learns the schemes, he'll get substantial playing time next season. After all, the Redskins gave up two high picks for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitner20 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 God no. Tj Duckett is a one dimensional rb and probably slower then anthony thomas. Yeah definetly not. Duckett is slow and never will be a #1. He's too slow and doesn't find the holes quick enough to be a solid RB and can't block good enough to be a good FB and he doesn't have good hands. I'd prefer Anthony Thomas over Duckett any day also as my backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
