GSF Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I was just watching the replay of the game on direct tv, and one thing that I was noticing was that Sellars was just smashing people blocking behind Dockery. Dockery is going to be a very good run blocker, and Sellars is just a monster. Sellars is going to spend a lot of time on the field busting open hole for Portis and Betts. Just an observation...

freakofthesouth Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Complete, completely agree w/ this GSF. Sellers is really creating space. For instance, on both of Betts' TD runs, he cuts back, once outside of Sellers, and the other, inside of him. Both times, Sellers was collapsing the line, and creating room for him to run. This guy is a serious blocker, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurent Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I've been on the Sellers bandwagon ever since we've resigned him early on in the year. We should have never let him leave in the first place so I'm pretty psyched to have him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portis running in the 3TE formation behind Sellars at HB and Rasby at at TE is going to be brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen-like Todd Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I didn't get to see the Falcons game, but I'm not surprised. In Zeb's clip of the first touchdown drive, you can see Sellars not only locking on and getting a push, but pinning his man to the inside against the LT, creating a gaping hole outside. I'm pretty sure he's going to be the primary "blocking HB". I think you'll see plenty of formations with Rasby and Sellars on the field in short yardage. And besides, he was crushing people when he was here under Norv, so why should things be different now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milliondollarslim Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Rasby and Sellars are the truth when blocking for the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atloldskin Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 And we can change up with Cooley, Koz and Royal when needed! Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlitzFiftySix Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I used to watch Sellers as the wedge buster on special teams play. He is a complete psychopath and in the role of blocking FB will open some huge holes for Portis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defenses would finally start to key on Sellers, so he would knock two guys out of Davis' way. Finally Norv would let Sellers be the decoy and Davis would rip off a big gain while the defense swarmed to Sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rook Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 I don't know if the Falcons were just awful or what, but many of our pulling OLine would get to their position and then "lock-up" their blocks. They weren't just getting in the way of the tacklers, they would engage them and complete the block. --- Excellent! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stone Cold Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 let's give dockery some credit too. dockery is a man-child. buges already said he could be special. the spurrier offense handicapped alot of our ol's blocking abilities. dockery is a mauler...we'll be very happy with him in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
