More athletic?

Dude is a 280 pound FB who can run, catch, and block. He can also play the h-back and TE.

Not sure what else you could want from a guy.

Does he make a good pot of coffee?

Youth, for one, I know we would want. He isnt gonna play for too much longer. Yes, Sellers is a good player, but if we can get someone younger and more athletic to be used in the passing game, then why not?

Dallas converted a LB, that wasnt gonna make the team. He turned out pretty good. Look at Seattle's FB, remember that TD run that they scored on us in the playoffs, I dont think Sellers breaks that run and takes it to the house. Do you?

The only problem with Sellers is he didn't touch the ball often enough.

Yes, more 3rd down and goal-line carries SHOULD happen. He's a beast.

We need to stop putting Betts in this position so he can fumble or trip.

you have to expand your brain just a tad... now didnt the seahawks spread our defense out and run a draw/delay play to the fb??? and when did gibbs ever spread the field for sellers?? how do you expect sellers to run for a 20 yard td when he gets the ball on 3rd and 1 and goaline situations? the major issue i had with gibbs was his ability to cram the offense together instead of spreading them out. and when sellers rushed... he had 1 wr and two tights or a xtra tackle in the game with playcalls specifically designed for 2 yard gains by rushing behind samuels and kendall.

Also, how many 280 lb guys do you know who can hurdle people?

Sellers is a beast. When the line was healthy the season before last he was better able to get to the second level, and the man created holes you could drive a mack truck through.

Also, at 32 he is in no way young, but FB's often have some of their best production late in their career. Like Lorenzo Neal for example. It is possible that we could get another 3-5 years of excellent production from Sellers, so Im not sure we even need to start polishing a young replacement just yet. Certainly not one drafted before the 5th round.
