He never built of the "head of steam" you mention because he jumped from about two yards behind the LOS. He's a great blocker, does a nice job catching passes out of the backfield, but simply is not good near the goal line. Bad call, two times in a row, give it to your best players (i.e. Portis) and try to get it in. Maybe try Sellers once, but certainly not two times in a row.
I had deja-vu of the giants game last year with Betts, but I have to admit that I liked the play call, Sellers just didn't execute it well. O yeah, our sorry ass line has as much to blame as Sellers for not getting in the end zone.
