GIBBS LIVES Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Why Duckett wasn't used in the red zone when we got stuffed at the 1 yard line????? Seriously, why do we have this guy? When we were inside the 5 yard line, that was the perfect time to use him. It was the 1st quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARLORD1863 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I asked the same question, I saw him suited up on the sidelines. This guy isn't a scrub, he's a starter. We should at least see what he has to offer this offense on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat~man Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 noone knows , he must not like church or something i thought for sure with no moss he would be active and get in there , and after we pouned portis 379 times and get stuffed 379 times in one goalline series then we would at least TRY something else lol but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1SkinsFan Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 In case Portis is hurt. Which he was today so we should have used him. He should and could have had 2 TDs today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan133 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 ill bet if you asked saunders about it he'd jus reply, "who's that? never heard of him ever." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REEM10 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I said the same thing after that drive. Its got to be political. They are not tryin to pay him a extra dime! Dont want him to meet incentive bonus' for touchdowns or somethin. Its not a far fetched theory. I have friends that have played in the league, and they tell me it happens a lot.

Skinja Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 you know, i keep forgetting we even have him but he would have been ideal in that situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darc Requiem Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 you know, i keep forgetting we even have him but he would have been ideal in that situation You and me both. I honestly forgot he was on the team until I read this thread. I feel bad for the guy. He is too good of a player to be rotting on the sidelines. He has to be pissed, its his contract year and he isn't getting to show off his skills to anyone. Clinton is a great back and I love is heart, but a 260lb Duckett isn't something that we should be wasting. Especially after we've just gotten stuffed several times at the goal line. Roy Williams would probably have a broke back after trying to lay the wood to Duckett at the goal line.:2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebowski Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 The answer to your question is, "no". Nobody can explain it because it is inexplicable. Betts gets a goalline carry over TJ? No way you can explain that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkFan8 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 At the very least I was surprised they didn't run Sellers in there. They ran him a few times in other positions, but it'd be confident he could pound it in down there like Duckett could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpickering Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 So, what is the deal? I like that we went out and secured a starting calibur RB in case Portis' injury was serious but I don't like the fact that we gave up a 3rd round pick for him. I would not be as critical if we would at least rotate him in on short yardage situations. I thought that was the reason given by the coaching staff earlier in the season.... that Duckett was reserved for goal line packages and we just had not been in that situation... So are we just going to let him bolt after this season? Is it unheard of to think that we can trade him or Betts? What realistic options do we have?

twenty-eight Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Was he active? Sellers got a few carries, give some of those to tj! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan81 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I wanted to know that too. Then I wanted to know it again when Sellers kept screwing up running into his own teammates, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think Sellers at 6'3" 280lbs would be a great option on the one yard line. The guy has a ton of power!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoDQForums Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I really don't know if any fan has a good answer to that, but I guarentee the majority of skins fans including myself would love to know why Duckett was not used when we are on the goal line for play after play.

Skins4481 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 They should've at least ran 270 lbs Mike Sellers at the goal line. I'm pretty sure he could've easily fall forward and get the first down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
