West-Coast Offense clarification.

If so -- Lorenzo Neal is reportedly going to be released from the Chargers. Can't think of a better fullback than him. I like Sellers, but not sure how I like him in the fullback role.

Did you fall down the stairs as a child, then again right before posting this thread?

Sellers is one of the better FBs in the league.

Neal is a great FB, but while Sellers is here, there's no need to get an other FB.

Lets get serious. Sellers is good but with the exception of the hit he put on Kennoy Kennedy (which he got tackled by him anyways) he goes down to often for his size and he is a sub-par blocker.

Seriously, I don't know what the rest of you guys are smoking but I want a hit. Also while we're at it why don't we talk about how Michael Vick was a pocket passer while Peyton Manning is the leagues best scrambling QB.

Is Chris Berman going to have to choke a bitch? JESUS!! I challenge anyone here to survive a hit from Mike Sellers. I suggest a lot of you go back and watch film on the guy and stop relying on Madden ratings to evaluate players, especially after the season.

Ok, I feel better now. I still love you guys, but damn.

Seeing that sellers hardly ever "hits" anyone. I am talking about his blocking ability it is sub-par at best.

Quake you make no sense. He's a very good run blocker, that's the best part of his game.

As those of you who read this blog often probably already know, if you made me pick a favorite football player on this team - from a pure football standpoint - it would be him. I have no rooting interest in it or anything, but the way this guy puts his neck out for his team and the kind of punishment he dishes out, it's hard to not have a soft spot for him.

For some the image of Mike Sellers is synonymous with that of a madman, one who jaw-jacks to players of opposing teams after crushing them under blocks. To others the image is that of a cagey veteran who can sell a block and then slide out for a touchdown catch in the flat. Still to others, he is a terrorizing runner with the ball, one who can knock them on their rump and keep going.

Sellers was inactive after injuring his back in practice. Sellers, who twisted his back during drills Wednesday, missed his second game since signing with the Redskins in 2004. Sellers is a staple of the running game as a lead blocker for Clinton Portis, is heavily involved in pass protection and is a short-yardage rusher. His absence was felt when the Redskins failed to convert on fourth and one in the third quarter. Sellers did not accompany the team to Tampa Bay and continues to receive treatment for his back.

Alright now that we've put the Sellers talk to rest we can get back to talking about the WCO.
