Sellers does struggle to block really athletic outside ends and backers. No problem blowing the DT's out of the hole though.
I don't think I'd like Lorenzo Neal as the one big FA we can afford this year. Doesn't improve the team as much as a defensive player could.

I love Sellers on special teams, as a receiver, and as a run blocker. I don't think Sellers is a particularly good pass-blocker however. I've seen Big Mike whiff on far too many occasions.
dude, your avitar always makes me think you are a giants fan.

I have to agree with young Earthquake here. There are many reasons to be a Mike Sellers fan, but his blocking is at best average. He is all about the kill shot and very little about technique.

The only problem with Sellers is he didn't touch the ball often enough.
Yes, more 3rd down and goal-line carries SHOULD happen. He's a beast.
We need to stop putting Betts in this position so he can fumble or trip.

First of all we are something like 20 million over the cap. Second of all as mentioned before Neal is nearing 40. Finally, I am more worried about run blocking offensive guards than replacing a solid FB in Sellars. Last year Portis and Betts were supposed to hit the 1,000 yard mark. The run game took a big step back last year when we lost Dockery. We need to replace Dockery more than replacing Sellars.

Lorenzo Neal is 37 years old. Let me repeat that. Lorenzo Neal will turn 38 this year. DOB 12/27/1970
Stop living in the past people.
Oh my GOD!!!! He's decrepit!
(Editor's note - he is 6 and 1/2 months younger than me.)

We're 16 Million over the cap now with more restructuring to take place. Don't worry, we'll have more than enough to sign free agents.

From a KFFL article posted by SmootSmack:
"The one position where Zorn may look to revamp is at fullback. Mike Sellers is more of a blocking back who is useful in assignment-blocking schemes for pass protection and powering running backs through the middle. Unless Portis and Betts can bring in more than 100 catches per season, Zorn might want someone who has the ability to pass protect and drop out for short checkdown routes, as well as be effective for short-yardage gain. It's possible that Betts will help fill this role as well."

When is Salary Cap hell going to take place for the Redskins? I hear about it every year, yet it never happens. In fact the last time we were in cap hell was when Marty took apart the roster.
