MartinC Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 :whoknows:why do we have these guys if they arent going to be utilized :dallasuck 1. Duckett was signed in case Portis did not recover from his shoulder injury. Portis did recover and Duckett is caught in a numbers crunch around special teams and is not active because he does not play on teams. Wasted trade - maybe but we could not afford the risk of Portis not recovering and us being short handed at RB. 2. Mike Sellers is our pimary blocking fullbacak and is also heavily featured in teh short passing game. Heck he even had 4 or 5 carries on 1st down against the Cowboys. he is critical part of our O - what makes you think he is under utilised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flexxskins Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Very, very good question man. I have been giddy as a school boy since the win, but these questions do need answering. Portis is one of the best RB's in the league, but lets face facts, his shoulder isn't 100% and it didn't look like he was able to hit the line of scrimmage with the force that he usually does. Why not put 278lbs of FB in Mike Sellers in there or Duckett or even Betts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortiz Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I'm sorry, but that is the only thing that takes the smile away from my face when I think about that improbably victory...it almost makes me sick. WHAT IS GOING ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinz4evr Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I couldn't agree more. I don't understand why our coaches have to call 7 straight runs with the line stacked against CP to understand that they might need a bigger body, Sellers OR Duckett, to move the pile. Then Sellers came in later for a few plays in a row when the team is WAY away from the goal line. Hats off to CP, but the guy is best(phenomenal) in space where he has room to run. Couldn't understand that series. The pitch finally worked to Perfection(38 yd. run) when the D wasn't EXPECTING it, too. I can't help but feel the coaches are STILL figuring out how to use these guys.:doh: :doh: Great win, but it is becoming apparent where some of our losses are coming from. I hope the staff can get these guys into position to win 7 of the last 8. :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottomline is that we have bigger, healthier backs to get the ball into the endzone. Why not use them? Why not try Betts?I am scared to death that Portis is going to hurt that shoulder again in situations like that goaline situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz4evr Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Numerous TD's in the redzone last year 0 this year Thank you, sir. Umm, numerous? Was 6 wasn't it? Still, he hasn't even been LOOKED at the same way this year ONCE. Meaning:under-utilized. :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We havent been able to make 1yd out of the jumbo formation in something like 15 years. Why is it so obvious from my seat at the bar and so painfully unnoticed by the coaching staff?!?!

flexxskins Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Especially with R. Williams coming off the left corner like his pants were on fire every play. He was so committed to the run he wouldn't have had time to get outside to contain a bootleg.Thank goodness for Randy Thomas who single handedly stopped R.Williams a couple of times while blitzing. One that sticks out in my mind was the fourth quarter pass to Betts. R.Williams came in on a blitz, salavating as he neared Brunell, when all of a sudden Thomas damn near knocks him on his ass and keeps him from even getting close to Brunell. :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I don't know why they are on the roster. Trying to punch in the ball 8 times from inside the five yard line screams Duckett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel 36 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Actually it went like this 1st and goal at 2 PORTIS STOPPED 2nd and goal from 1 PORTIS STOPPED 3rd and goal from 1 BETTS STOPPED 4th and goal from 1 PORTIS STOPPED and as far as I know...Duckett WAS active and standing there WAITING TO GO IN... boooooo...cut Duckett now if you aren't going to play him!!!

Diesel 36 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 sorry...it was actually like this 1-4-DAL4 (9:51) C.Portis left tackle to DAL 3 for 1 yard (D.Ware, J.Ratliff). 2-3-DAL3 (9:14) C.Portis right guard to DAL 4 for -1 yards (R.Fowler). 3-4-DAL4 (8:35) M.Brunell pass incomplete short left to A.Randle El. PENALTY on DAL-T.Newman, Defensive Holding, 2 yards, enforced at DAL 4 - No Play. 1-2-DAL2 (8:30) C.Portis right end to DAL 1 for 1 yard (R.Fowler, T.Newman). 2-1-DAL1 (7:54) C.Portis up the middle to DAL 1 for no gain (R.Fowler, M.Spears). 3-1-DAL1 (7:14) L.Betts left end to DAL 1 for no gain (R.Williams, B.James). 4-1-DAL1 (6:40) C.Portis up the middle to DAL 1 for no gain (B.James, J.Ferguson).

kcofdc Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 it is just so frustrating because the pass to sellars was automatic last year, but it has yet to be attempted this year...meanwhile you have duckett standing on the sideline just waiting to prove that he is capable of doing what brandon jacobs does for the giants. :gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINZ33 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 :whoknows:why do we have these guys if they arent going to be utilized :dallasuck That question came to mind as well.

Audible_Red40 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I know we are all arm-chair QB's at one point during the game. But I was certain that a play action pass to Sellers in the flat was gonna happen in that sequence. Gee, it kind of worked for us in the past, and it apparently does not exist in the 700 page playbook now being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDMAN7 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I was going NUTS watching Gibbs run 4 consecutive times up the gut, while NOT using Duckett or Sellers. Portis is a Ferrari NOT a bulldozer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polskadan Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I have been thinking the same thing all year...hell give it to sellers on short down situations, he can drag people for a guaranteed yard whereas portis has to find the hole...
