Why not use both Sellers & Duckett in goal line situations?

It was just one bad series - where most of the blame should be on the o-line. Sellers and/or Duckett wouldn't have had much more luck in those scenarios.

I will pose the question, though - why don't we ever have Portis jump to the outside in goal line situations? Priest Holmes made a career of this - and if they're stacked up in the middle - Portis definitely has the speed to beat them to the outside...

As far as Duckett, I'm with Matty - it's not going to happen this year - if we stop talking about it maybe, just maybe we can forget about what we gave up for nothing...

portis is in fact a damn fine back, and yes the o-line deserves the brunt of the blame, but lets not kid ourselves- portis is NOT a better goalline back than TJ. Portis is more likely to run it in from 5 yards out than he is from 1. As for seeing TJ, i too am with you guys, if we haven't seen him yet, chances are we aren't going to...unless the coaches become as DISGUSTED as we are that we have been smashing a Ferrari into the wall when we have a bulldozer on the bench.
