OxonHillSkinsFan89 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Since they Skins are making an attempt at getting younger...How much longer do you think Mike Sellers has? or is he just too valuable on offense/special teams to just let go? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlobberKnockinFootball Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I sure the hell hope so.. one of the most overrated players on this roster. Softest fullback i've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 He's the next guy potentially on my list that could potentially get cut, after him would be either Doughty or Horton I think. THere aren't too many others that I'd just cut before camp to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kappaluvacee Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 The clock is ticking for everyone on our roster. This management team stresses competition. With that said, I'm not sure 'Skins fans know jus thow good sellers is and has been for this team. There's a reason he has made positive impressions on three different coaches! It's because he can ball. He will defy time because he is a workout warrior! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxima2000 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I think that he is a valuable player on special teams and that he does a pretty good job catching passes out of the backfield, so I personally would say no, he's not getting cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible_Red40 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I am willing to guess he's here to stay. Great guy, great attitude, great on special teams, decent but declining at full back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I wouldn't expect him to get cut, when the only competition is a converted LB and a rookie FA. It is always possible he could lose his job during training camp, but I wouldn't expect a cut right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he's a full back and his run blocking has been atrocious the last couple years. I'm pretty sure someone else could provide 15-20 catches out of the backfield. I'd like to see him stick around, but I'd understand if they let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 For those who think Sellars is safe, before this week would you have thought he was safer than: Phillip Daniels Casey Rabach Donovan McNabb Albert Haynesworth Maake Kemoeatu HB Blades Rocky McIntosh I'm sure there are other names I could put in here. Granted, not all of those lost on that list were cut, they were traded, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu2008 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Sellers will be cut. Darrel Young is the fullback they will keep. I know Shannahan likes him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogHeaven84 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hopefully Young works out. I really wished they could've signed Peyton Hillis as a FB after Denver cut him a few years ago. I knew he would've been tough, big, and multi-dimensional FB. I never thought he'd blow up into a bulldozing feature HB though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Complete Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Yes, the clock is ticking. However, Sellers had a career high receptions and receiving yards last year, they really got him involved in the passing game. That tells me they like him. He's a great special teams guy as well. That said, he’s 35 and the people in charge seem to be cutting anyone born in the 70s. :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewagen Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 He's GONE as soon as they can make a deal for another FB that is an UFA...and there are TWO on their radar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinzfan72 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 We have more pressing needs than worrying about his replacement!!!! He may b a lil soft... but has been more a TEAM PLAYER than ALOT people that have been on this roster!!!! This is not an issue!!! Lets talk QB or CB?

Busch1724 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Well he'll be gone, not just because of his age but because his position is a dying breed. You can get a younger fullback/rb hybrid guy for much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailYeah Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 at people calling Mike Sellers soft. He's not soft. He blows people up on STs and he is a load at fullback. He just makes dumb decisions sometimes, often before the snap, and occasionally whiffs on a block downfield because he forgot the play. He is not the smartest guy on the field, but he is a good fullback who was a probowler a year ago. If he gets cut it will be because of his age, plain and simple.

Somebody please post the gif of him absolutely destroying that Eagles DB. Sellers has been a spectacular baller, and has great hands. I think it was back in 05 or 06 when he had like 8 redzone receiving TDs? I think he may be one of the oldest players on the team now, however, so if he were to get cut, age would be the reason.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hopefully it is in terms of being a starter. He's had a good run, but it's time to hand the reigns over to Young. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sellers still make the team though as a back-up and valuable teams player. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
