GO GO SKINS Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Before he got injured, he had some good plays for us. It seems we have gone away from it. Sellers, Cooley, Cartwright come on we have the tools, lets use them to our benefit:dallasuck . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altair4 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 We have been max protecting. Without a No. 2 WR, it is slim pickings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinthemboys Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 We have been max protecting. Without a No. 2 WR, it is slim pickings. Thats right. When we lost our #2 and #3 recievers It changed our whole damn offence. Losing 1 reciever is hard enough to deal with but when a team loses 2 of their 3, well, I dont think it would matter who the Qb was you would have some problems. Santana is constantly double if not triple covered and the back upm recievers havent been a threat. Teams know who our next choice is....cooley, and for the most part he can get open and have a positive impact...but your right. Its slim pickings. Thank God the run game has stepped up.

bubba9497 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Before he got injured answered your own question. plus Sunday we weren't in short yardage goal line situations where he is normally an option. I am sure he will be used more the next 3 weeks, however he is no longer a surprise anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GO GO SKINS Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 He is back from the injury, watch the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnFoRcEr_uPu Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 You also have to realize that they may have been saving him as much as possible for this week. With hairline fractures(his ribs), it can become very serious. It wouldn't suprise me if this was the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Last game against the Cardinals was the first game he was 100% back. I'd say he contributed quite a bit in helping CP find the end zone, so he does get used. Same with Portis, for that matter. He does important things that won't show up in stats.

MidPennSkin Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 We need to use Sellers as a lead blocker like the Chargers use Lorenzo Neal. We used him that way on the Portis TD run against the Cards last Sunday, but he could be used that way a lot more. Neal is a HUGE part of Tomlinson's recent success, and of Corey Dillon's success with the Bengals. Maybe Sellers is too slow to do what Neal does. I couldn't find Neal's 40 time, but Sellers runs 4.80 Lorenzo Neal Position: FB Height: 5-11 Weight: 255 Born: 12/27/1970 College: Fresno State NFL Experience: 13 Mike Sellers Position: TE Height: 6-3 Weight: 277 Born: 07/21/1975 College: Walla Walla CC WA NFL Experience: 6 40-yd time: 4.80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 He is back from the injury, watch the game. never said he didn't play, read my post :doh: as I stated we were never in position Sunday, where we normally get him the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Gut Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 we do use Sellers as a lead blocker, we also use Cooley as a lead blocker (with Royal in there with both of them) he's coming off a rib injury, very painful, he'll be there, I don't worry I may be reaching here, but I think Gibbs knew STL and Arizona wouldn't be the hardest teams to play, so he kept a lot of the passing game under wraps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Gut Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 and I don't doubt we'll use him because dump off passes to Royal/Cooley/Sellers is like 80% of our passing offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 he's coming off a rib injury, very painful, bingo, it's easier for him to give the hit, s a blocker or ST, than take a hit when exposed catching a pass, or getting tackled and risk further injury.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I love Sellers. I think you'll see him contribute a lot on Sunday. I like him blocking and in the passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedzoneHunter Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 There's not much room for Sellers right now, we're too busy using two decoys instead (Farris & Jacobs). Maybe the coaching staff has finally noticed in the film that this tactic isn't working, but if not, our offense will fail to reach the 10 points it got against Arizona last week.

drone007 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 when have you ever seen sellers get touches outside of the redzone? :laugh: We weren't in redzone situations against the cardinals, so what you saw was what you ALWAYS see from sellers... blocking. someone look up how many receptions sellers has, and how many touchdowns. he's probably like 3td/5rec. or something. are you guys really that worried? EDIT: OK, looked up the stats... 5td/10rec. , plus 1td/1rush ... 65 receiving yards for the year, 1 rushing yard for the year. his longest reception was for 19 yards. so anyway, while those numbers are great as far as touchdowns, it shows that gibbs hasn't used sellers extensively in the open field all year, it's not like he's 'not using sellers anymore..' he never really used him that much, other than redzone scoring and play action.
