I was one of the people that thought Sellers should have gotten a shot to run it up the gut last week, but after Gibbs explained his reasoning, it made a lot of sense. If the best running play requires the best blocking back, that by all means, let him lead block. It still bugs me though, that Gibbs doesn't think that the best running play requires the best running back on the team to be successful.
