FanSinceSonnyJ Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Sellers had a career day against the Lions. He is a big powerful back and it would seem to me he should be getting more touches on running plays as he would be a good change of pace back for Portis/Betts. I like what I've seen out of him. It sounds like he is pleading his case for just that with Joe Gibbs. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crank Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 yes he has done nothing but help the team out this year. I would like to see him in short yardage plays. plus he has good hands for a play action pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwills1 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I think the number of touches he got against Detroit is the max for him. He's dynamic, but the more touches he gets the less we have for CP, ARE, MOSS and COOLEY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Yeah I think we used him to his full potential against Detroit. Let him have a few carries in short yardage, and get him involved in the passing game, especially around the goal line. If we keep using him like that, he will add A LOT to our offense. We really are a well rounded offense when everyone is healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the idea of pounding him up the middle in the 4th quarter after our OL/Portis/Betts have worn down opposing defenses - just like we did with Riggo (yes I understand Sellars in no Riggins!).

I would like to see him in short yardage plays. plus he has good hands for a play action pass. Short yardage should be a no-brainer. With someone that big, with that much momentum, it just takes too much to get them down. Remember when Detroit converted the 4th and 1 in the 4th quarter because they ran a fullback who was so big he didn't budge even when hit by Sean Taylor with a running start? Simple concept, really...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's dynamic, but the more touches he gets the less we have for CP, ARE, MOSS and COOLEY Sellars provides us one more threat. I would like to see him get 5-10 carries per game and 2-3 passes. He certainly is not a go to guy, but you gotta love his size and toughness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBHOGG Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 It was nice to see Sellers get some touches but Portis should be getting the ball as much has he can handle it. Plus, Sellers is so good at opening lanes for Portis. There are a few blocks that Sellers had in the Detroit game that gave Portis an extra 5-10 yards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFA66oEGTwI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portis is the man and Sellars' blocks are a big part of why he is so successful. I would just like to see Sellars get worked into more plays as he seems to deliver everytime he touches the ball. It's helpful to have that "beast" type back as a change of pace. The fact that he can catch further helps our cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyKilmer Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 His main role for the team is blocking He is good near the goal line blocking, catching or running. Don't fool yourselves into thinking we have found the next Csonka (sp?). It's nice that teams will now need to spend some time working on this into a game plan.

Riggo-toni Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 You don't want to see him get injured. It's kind of like Darrell Green on kick returns: Do it sparingly, limiting it to when necessary/important....short-yardage, red zone, etc. Last game was perfect.

Monkskin81 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 We need to use him like we did in 2005 when we went to the "paloffs". He had what 5-7 TD's that year? We use him enough but not too much. He's not going to be the difference maker in a game really, but he helps put other guys into position to be difference makers. Last year he didn't do nearly as much as the year before. If we go back to that and do some PA Fullback passes to him on the goalline, or in the vicintiy as wellas the obvious short yardage then he should be happy, and it should help the Skins and we'll do fine. I hate the Cowboys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Complete Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Gibbs has said that they will expand his role and they have. The concern is that since he plays special teams also and is a big part of every run that they don't want him to take on too much. I say get someone else to play teams and use him more as an offensive weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenaa Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Thanks to this game, he is now a player other teams have to be more attentive too. He's proving to be very versatile. I don't think he needs more touches than he got in the Det game. But knowing he is capable of those things is just another thing to keep teams off balance.
