Sellers to Play Sunday

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Okay, we here at thewarpath.net have disagreed about a lot of things over the past two days. Gibbs should do this or that, this draft pick was or wasn't a mistake, Portis is or isn't as good as advertised, etc.

Here is something we can all agree on - Mike Sellers is a stud. Sellers got face (and rib) planted in the Raiders game, but still managed to come back to the game. After the trainer's found a hairline fracture in one of Mike Sellers' ribs, he was forced to sit out last week's loss to the Chargers. Now, after just one week, Sellers has declared that he will play this Sunday.

Sellers is a good player, but I do not intend to claim that he is a Pro Bowl stud. BUT, Sellers is a bona fide stud. I love this guy. He plays with heart and emotion (sometimes to our team's detriment) and he's not going to let some minor injury sidelines him. I love this guy's attitude and heart.


The following was reported in today's (November 29th) Washington Post.

Sellers, who missed Sunday's game with a sore back and ribs after being illegally hit by Oakland Raiders linebacker Isaiah Ekejiuba on punt coverage, says he is ready to play against the Rams.

Sellers has been an important element of the Redskins' offense around the goal line, evidenced by his six touchdowns, and is a key member of the special teams unit.

"I'm ready to play," Sellers said, adding that last week he felt as if he had been hit by a Mack truck. "I just have to convince them and wait for them to clear me. I don't think it will be an issue. I'm ready to go out there."

As for Ekejiuba, he was not fined by the NFL for the hit on Sellers. "It doesn't matter. I'll see him again," Sellers said. . . .

Wide receiver James Thrash will miss his third straight game with a pulled hamstring.
