Very good point, although a 30th out of 32 ranking suggests a consistent and decisive inability to run in short yardage situations, as to mean someone needs to be replaced. Do you suggest replacing Portis in short yardage situations?

Ok this is how I do it. In run blocking I would put us at number 3 behind the Chiefs and Chargers. (Since will shields retired from the chiefs we could bump to number 2.)

In pass blocking I put us at 4. So in total I put us at the number 3 offensive line in the league. Behind Indy and Kansas City.

Maybe, we saw Sellers get a few short yardage carries last year, perhaps we'll see more of that this year.

If not Portis Betts or Sellers for short yardage situations.

I agree, Sellers is a total MONSTER every time he touches the ball, I would love to see him used for short yardage situations. Portis and Betts are great between the 20's or even the 10's but lets see what Sellers can do on the goal line... And I am not talking about those roll out passes either, I want to see him up the gut and take out LB on his way to the endzone from like the 3 yard line....

and then he can slober all over them and spike the ball in their face. The guy is 260-275 pounds. I love how he ran over Brian Dawkins in 2005. I want to see more of that.
