Why not use both Sellers & Duckett in goal line situations?

Last week we had 7 plays inside the 4 yard line against Dallas and got no points from it. My question is why not use Mike Sellers and TJ Duckett at the same time? I would think with each being 270 pounds+ the Skins would have been able to punch it in on the goal line. I love Clinton, but using these 2 guys at the same time in a heavy-jumbo package near the goal line seems like a solution. Thoughts?

whatever it takes. obviously, whatever the skins were doing doesn't work

I still cant believe we didnt see duckett when were on the goalline and didnt get it. Why arent we using a player we traded for? The better question is what team were the skins trying to keep him from playing for?

I thought it was said that we were keeping him from going to Philly.

That's on page 701 of Saunders' playbook.. We're still in the 200's chapter.

I say go with whatever works. IF Duckett could do a better job at the goaline (the lines blocking could be an issue too) then put him in. I don't care who's feelings are hurt.
If players are really about the team like they all claim, then they should understand when the team needs them to step aside and let another person do a particular task.

Welcome to Joe Gibbs football!

Gibbs admitted this week that he wanted to give Portis the chance to score.

How about giving the team a chance to WIN?

It seems like it would make Portis' job easier around the goal line if other teams thought that Duckett was the pound it up the middle guy. They may be more inclined to watch the perimeter when Portis was in and therefore open up everything a little more.

I expect to see Duckett in a least once the next time.

Time to face reality guys, if we haven't seen much of Duckett to this point chances are we're just not going to. Gibbs is comfortable with Portis and Betts and on occasion, Sellers.

See ya next week for the next installment of "Where's Duckett?"

Let's not over-react - Portis is a damn-fine goal line back.

It was just one bad series - where most of the blame should be on the o-line. Sellers and/or Duckett wouldn't have had much more luck in those scenarios.

I will pose the question, though - why don't we ever have Portis jump to the outside in goal line situations? Priest Holmes made a career of this - and if they're stacked up in the middle - Portis definitely has the speed to beat them to the outside...

As far as Duckett, I'm with Matty - it's not going to happen this year - if we stop talking about it maybe, just maybe we can forget about what we gave up for nothing...
