Everyone is talking about how Betts fits Gibbs' system better, yet the guy quietly was just shy of 1,500 yards rushing! What do you guys think of this happening? It seems that it would be intriguing, but i'm not sure that Betts is a feature back. I think the best situation is to keep Portis and get a BUS Bettis type of guy for short yardage and goal line.

It's not clear on where Betts would fit in here if we do.
