I was one of Ladell Betts naysayers and wish we would have kept Watson. Buy was I wrong. This guy is a beast. I think we found are #1 RB. Trung looked good but Betts looked quick and decisive out of the backfield.

Only bad thing I had to say about Betts is why draft him if you don't give him a shot. In the 2nd round no less. I think we got a pretty good combo though.

Hey youre not alone i also said we should've kept Watson and traded Betts.But this is why i havent had any GM offers as of late.
However,i wanted to keep Watson in hopes that he would offer more of what Davis did and were getting that from Betts now so im still happy.

I think Betts earned the starting Job tonight. He looked tremendous and Trung only looked average until the last drive.

I noticed that the majority of run plays to Betts the OL opened up holes like parting the Red sea. Trung on the other hand had to make things happen own his own most of the time. I'm glad we have both.

Oh, I'll take a few pats on the back for fighting the good fight for Ladell. He's a stud. He hits the line way, way faster and harder than Trung. What a clutch move and burst to get us in makeable FG range. Hailyeah!!!!!

We will need both Betts and Canidate this year. They are a nice 1-2 punch and a good change of pace from each other.

That guy's name is Betts?
And here I thought we just gave Stephen Davis a different #. ;)
Yea, I know it's only one game...

I thought Betts had a good game and I'm a huge Watson supporter. I didn't see a big difference in them so I'm happy.

maybe they had their keys screwed up ... assumed Betts was in to rest our #1 running back ... prolly a passing down ... but ... ummm... no!

Betts and Trung will make a great duo... I dont think anything should change. SS should resist the urge to make Betts the feature back... let him come off the bench and continue to mature... all the while keeping Trung as the starter... all he needs is one good hole...

In all seriousness .... watching Betts run ... I thought hmmm he's doing Davis things ... better than Davis (falls forward when tackled like Davis ... but he's quicker)
gave me a feeling that we will not miss Stephan as a running back ... hope he gives us the same feeling about not missing Stephan as a person

Watching Betts last night was like watching SD on fast forward.

Betts was always the better all around back.

I'm with you - Betts wins the "Well shush my mouth" Award with me too.

I've been on the betts bandwagon for awhile now... so i'm glad to see the kid play well.
Our combo running system looks like a real threat... and we're a passing offense.

no crow for me. ive always said that betts should be starting. he should get the majority of the carries but i like the combo with trung.....

Betts and Canidate offer a stark contrast in styles and I for one like the duo carrying the load, not one. Having both in the game makes defense prepare for both.
