Re: Zorn's next fullback!

PEYTON HILLIS 2007
REC YDS AVG TD
49 537 11.0 5

OWEN SCHMITT 2007
REC YDS AVG TD
12 121 10.1 1

Can anyone spot the WCO FB
Hillis has better rushing stats in 2007 as well
If we draft a FB in the 1st 3 rounds where both of these guys are going it will most likely be Hillis. But I don't think we should, Sellers will have a career year... one thing that irks me about him are his big drops, he had a decent amout last season

Schmitts been touted as the best Fullback since Alstott. The dudes power is unreal, The guy hang cleans over 500 pounds. He averaged 6.2 ypc over his career at WVU and he's about the most selfless loyal player Ive ever seen.

2 interesting facts about schmitt, Hes broken 11 facemasks throughout his career bulldozing over people and during his 3 years at WVU he NEVER lost a yard, not once. I would LOVE to have this guy be a redskin. However he really isnt a local boy, although he went to fairfax high school he's from wisconsin and thats where his loyalty lies and he's a big Packers fan.

Re: Zorn's next fullback!

Wow, you guys are coming down pretty hard on Sellers. Two threads in the past month lobbying for a guy to replace him.

Also, Lorenzo Neal is on the trading block, maybe you guys should talk about that.

Re: Zorn's next fullback!

Ok, I'm sorry for putting words into the original posters script. I do deserve this. I again will say I like Sellers and am glad we have him he is a beast and can run over people.

What am I trying to say.....we need someone who can open a lane for Portis/Betts. They tried to many failed expierments with the running game. We tried Betts and Portis and it didn't work. We tried Cooley and Portis and it didn't work. We tried Sellers and Portis and it didn't work. Hell we even had Randell El sliding from WR position to back field in hopes of throwing off the D. Now, maybe it wasn't Seller's fault completely(I know this) but the whole point of a blocking FB is to take the first hit and open a lane for the RB.

How many times did Sellers get stuffed at the line closing the hole for Portis and not making the 1-3 yrds needed for a first down? my recolection would be way to many. Again perhaps it was the lines fault and not the FB/RB/TE/WR we used back there.

Re: Zorn's next fullback!

I like Sellers, loved when he layed the boom on Kennedy, loved when he took one for the team on Portis' sweep getting leveled by an opposing LB

Thing is, he's not a good short yardage back. When it's 4th and 1 and we need to keep the drive going, Sellers just ain't gettin it done... Go back and look how many times he was stopped on short yardage last year. He also had at least 3 big drops on very catchable balls that would have moved the chains. (1/5 of Santana's drops but Mike was in the flat with no one around) Sellers is a nice player, but I don't hink he is a top FB in this league
1Dan Kreider702Lorenzo Neal664Justin Griffith655Mike Karney656Brad Hoover657Ovie Mughelli648Heath Evans649Mack Strong6410Thomas Tapeh62

More then 5 of these players above woud be an upgrade over Sellers. IMO we have more pressing needs early in the draft but if one of the top FB fell to us in the 3rd (Hillis, Hester, Schmitt) then it would be a good pick

Sellers is a true redskin. Nuff said.
