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.
your right about that, he did do alil torpedo low-to-the-ground type leap about a yard or two back . . . i guess the point i was trying to make is that if a mike sellers doing a torpedo dive thing into the wall of D players didnt move them back, nothing would have. what would portis have done differently? there was a wall of defenders, sellers tried to go thru them and that didnt work. but yeah 2 times in a row kinda hurts, no argument there.
