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.

The most damning thing for me about TJ is how he would pitter-patter in short yardage. I can't recall seeing him ever hit the line with authority, I never saw him move the pile. I saw him run up to it, and if there was no hole, he'd twinkle-toe until someone brought him down. I spoke to some Falcon fan friends of mine last year when i was seeing this, and they said, yep, that's TJ alright.

For a man so big, he plays like he's afraid. I agree with others who think Rock makes a better short yardage option because he at least runs hard.
I'll pass, and chalk the mistake of the trade up to yet another learning experience.

I saw him move the pile once, and just assumed the commentator got the name wrong.

Sellers always seems to get like 6-7 yards a pop when he runs it.

Oh god, soon as CB problems are mentioned people think Green can solve them lol.

Hey why don't we get Riggo in the game again? I am sure he could have taking CPs spot when he went down.

ProFootball Talk has reported Duckett signed a 1yr. 1.5 mil deal with Detroit. Sorry can't post link.

Sounds good, but again it's PFT

hooskins · 03-09-2007, 09:53 PM

Wow the Lions have some trade power now, with 3 pretty good backs.

DUCKETT TO DETROIT

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that running back T.J. Duckett has agreed to terms with the Detroit Lions.

Duckett will sign a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Lions.

The maneuver gives the Lions three starting-caliber tailbacks -- Duckett, Tatum Bell, and Kevin Jones. We've previously heard that Bell, who was acquired recently from the Broncos as part of the Dre' Bly trade, is a candidate to be traded again.

Duckett did the deal with Detroit after visiting the Seahawks.
