Mike Sellers is a good - but not great - blocking fullback and special teams player. But let's not get carried away thinking he's in anything more than that because he isn't.

The Redskins have never given Seelers a chance to be anything more than a blocker or a Special Teams standout. His productivity is low because they do not run plays for him to get him the ball, not because he isn't very good. Sellers is a big/physical football player, which is more than I can say for the other TE's on our roster. None of other TE's are the blocker or physical presence on the field that Seller is. I was not happy with the blocking of our other TE's.
I was also disappointed when we got TJ Duckett because Sellers had stepped up in preseason when Portis got hurt. Sellers got some extra carries and he was productive. I would like to see Sellers get the ball more as a RB in preseason and see what he can do.
Your comments about Sellers are misplaced because Sellers has never been given a chance to be productive. The Redskins would not be in for rough times if Sellers was more of a presence.
