[QUOTE=Dirtbag359;427309]Oh God, another chance for Warpath members to bash Mike Sellers who has been nothing but productive the past few years. Don't know what kind of salary Olivea would want, so I'll wait to see on him.

Sorry Mike Sellers [IMG]http://www.theradiotrip.com/resources/images/sound_bites_images/Miscellaneous/rodney_dangerfield_tn.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]

Poor Sellers, I thought he was popular with ppl. This is the second or third thread for a FB, which is crazy!! We have bigger needs than a FB, which we can pick up (a second) FB late in the draft.

Re: Shane Olivea and Lorenzo Neal cut
 

Mike Sellers is one of the best fullbacks in the league. He was the first alternate to the pro bowl for a reason. Anyone who thinks we should replace him is retarded. He can run, catch, and block well.

I'm not sure that people want to replace Big Mike but would rather have more depth at the FB position

You'd be surprised. If I hadn't seen this before I would agree with you, but recently more and more people are lobbying to get a new FB to replace Sellers. Which in theory would be great, because Sellers is a very good player, so to find a better player would be awesome.

The craziest thing I hear is that Sellers can't block over the middle. Which I could believe if:

1. I saw it during the 12 or 13 games I got a chance to watch live from start to finish (Sopcast started to screw me over near the end of the season thank God for the new system of selecting Prime Time games during the second half of the season, the other games I watch the gametrek on NFL.com), or

2. Heard it from a respected analyst.

Re: Shane Olivea and Lorenzo Neal cut
 

fb is not a need, and if we sign one, it should be a 23 year old in the draft, not a 37 year old that's 180 degrees from what we need for the WCO.

mccree is another average player. signing him really doesn't improve the team much beyond depth, though if he's cheap, he's definitely worth a look there.

olivea is good depth and young enough to stick around a while, but i have no idea how much money he wants (which directly affects how much i'd want to sign him), and he wants to start, so we're not exactly his best option (besides that season ending OL curse we've been developing).

Re: Shane Olivea and Lorenzo Neal cut
 

We need a proven backup FB that's why I posted this. Sellers is "the man" no doubt. If he gets hurt, then what? Remember the 2007 season when BIG Mike was hurt? Our backups couldn't do the job and it showed during the losses.

[QUOTE=mooby;427326]We have no need for Neal, maybe if that is a position of need but Big Mike has been holding it down pretty good. And Olivea is probably gonna handle a hefty sized contract, he's young and he's good and that equals a big payday in free agency.[/QUOTE]



actually, we are gonna need two starting FB's for the WCO.. ITs gonna require mike to do a lot more work I believe..
