Betts/Cartright vs. CP

For the second game in a row, Betts and Cartright have provided energy and much needed production to an anemic running game. These guys make their reads and hit their holes hard. They look like they are running at a different speed than CP.

Much of this can be attributed to the fact that Betts and Rock practice every day and understand the nuances of their O line that only comes when you practice with them. I feel that because CP doesn't practice, not only is he not aware of those small nuances but also the team doesn't get as energized with him back there because he doesn't practice and makes himself out to be better than the team. Ladell and Rock are just a couple of guys that fit in with everyone else.

Like the Rogers/Smoot situation, will be interesting who gets the nod as CP gets healthy. Not sure I like a platoon situation since you need to get guys into a rhythm and it's hard to do that when you are being pulled out and put back in all the time.
