As far as Sellers goes, I too am wondering why we haven't used a little more. I think Royal has bounced back and has proven to be a reliable receiver.
What we need is a true no 2 receiver. Hopefully Thrash comes back this week. He should be able to help out. Jacobs hasn't done shit, and it doesn't look like he's gonna be anything in this league.

That's not exactly true. Riggins was most successful wtih FB Otis Wonsley as the lead block from the "I" formation. Riggins even spoke about it on a film about his career. The combo of Sellers and Portis against the Cardinals must become a standard. Portis literally held on for his very life as Sellers drug him into the endzone. Can you imagime trying to get pass a 6-3, 278 pound FB on a running play? Gibbs has found the right set. It will get Portis pass the first inital contact.
