Comcast is reporting that Gibbs has decided to use T.J. Duckett on short-yardage situations. Has anyone heard anything about this? If it's true, what does this mean for Cartwright? We only carry 3 backs on gameday.

I heard it from Gibbs' mouth on his weekly radio show, that he was considering using Duckett in short yardage situations. I guess that means Rock will be a special teamer for the most part now, but it seems like that's all he's done for the last few games anyway.

Last week, we only carried three wide receivers. The roster is fluid - if the coach thinks carrying four backs will help us win, then by all means we should do it.

Dont know, but we need Rock in for kick returns more than we need Duckett for short yardage. We can use Sellers for that.
I love Gibbs all the sudden realizes that maybe he should use Duckett. But at mentioned, how is he gonna do it? Maybe he can put him on the roster as a different position, and play him as a back, if that is even possible.
Obviously CP and Betts arent going anywhere. So the question is who to not dress, Rock or Sellers. I think Sellers would not dress, bc we need Rock for special teams.

I think we'll keep one less TE. Cartwright is a beast on teams.

TJ has dressed out the last 2 games I believe, so we've had 4. Last week it was easy due to wr injuries (only had 3), this week I don't know who will sit.

No Way!! Sellers is THE starting fullback. Betts or TJ are not going to play fb.

Hope it's true, and if it is, THANK EFFING GOD.
Gee, our Hall of Fame coach may have finally figured out that there may be a reason why TJ Duckett rushed for 11 TDs in 2003, 8 TDs in 2004 (in 13 games), and another 8 TDs in 2005 (in 14 games).
He sure as hell wasn't breaking long TD runs, that's for sure Coach!
