I guess having the right personnel and good execution makes a big difference.

Yeah, same wan Coles basically thought was useless and ineffective. Same one that when Gibbs would call it, people would say the game has passed him by.

Yeah, I think this is the same play

Does anyone know why we don't run Moss on the reverse more often? He's so frickin fast, he'd at least get back to the line of scrimmage - and more likely, break it for a first down or more.

You know, in general I don't think we have much success with that play at all. I don't think it makes a difference with us who's running it, it seems like we just never have really broken one on a reverse.

The beauty of the Sellers goaline play is that it looks exactly like a Portis run we do where Sellers is the leadblocker running Portis off-tackle...by the time Sellers break from the tackle outside and looks for the throw, the defense reads run and everyone hits the line of scrimmage. If we had Jacksonville-era Brunell he would also be able to fake that toss (if covered) and scamper in to the endzone.
