If anything we screwed Sellers. He could of been our beast on short yardage

Well, doesn't Sellers have to play the fullback on short yardage? I guess we could slide Yoder or Cooley back there, but I'd feel much more comfortable with Sellers leading the way for Portis/Betts in short yardage than with Yoder leading the way for Sellers.

I feel that a majority of Duckett's 2006 carries would have gone to Rock.

I'm also waiting with great anticipation for the day when Cooley lines up at fullback, gets the handoff, and proceeds to spin 8 times on his way to the endzone, but I digress.

you can singleback him in short yardage. gibbs did run two-TE singleback formations before... and pucillo could always come in a the jumbo FB in those cases too.

True. Not conventional, but still a good point.

Running out of the singleback wouldn't work if they sold out vs the run. We'd need a few solid PA pass options off a Sellers dive play.
