VT's Pre-Game "Breakdown" WK 3

by VTramsFan on Sep 25, 2010 8:27 AM CDT in 2010 St. Louis Rams season

Hey Rams fans. This week the Redskins roll into town, and while Portis can pose a serious threat, I think the Redskins bring their version of a 1-2 punch that can often times be overlooked... and who is the second punch? FB Mike Sellers.

Sellers is one of those guys with deceptive speed for such a large frame. We're talking about an undrafted 10 year vet, 6' 3" and 268 pounds with really soft hands.. and did I mention he can block? These physical tools landed him a ticket to Honolulu in 2008 as well (Pro Bowl).

I think the Rams need to seriously plan for Sellers a part of their overall game plan this week.

Enjoy! And make sure you hit 3k's full pregame preview below this post. It's a must read as it is every week!

What ever happened to the days

when the FB never went into the flat without a LB right there covering him? It used to be that LBs had specific assignments to cover the first guy or the second guy out of the backfield. Now it’s all dropping back into zone coverage and leaving the RBs all alone to catch the flare and turn upfield.

That's why we need a more athletic FB than Karney

After watching him catch a ball and fall to the ground in slow motion untouched last week, I’d say he’s not a great pass catching threat. Dennis Morris wouldn’t be bad if could block. But I’d rather have better blocking so I’m fine with Karney.

Shurmur, your career is in 3rd and long. Don't run a draw.
