the redskins did the right thing by running on that play, but i would've put sellers in at halfback mainly because i don't see portis as a short yardage back. A rollout with Brunell probably would've been more effective because he has more options, but the game was blown on other plays, not this one. Imo, the play that blew the game was the thirty yard td pass to sheppard at the end, by that point i had realized whenever we blitzed it wasn't doing anything, leaving walt harris on an island like that is a really bad idea, considering he's been burned other times already.
