    We've always been looking to find a rotational end, When Haba has been in hes had mixed reviews. Maybe with a year under his beélt he will be better. The question is whether he hasn't reps because coaches didn't have enough confidence in him? With the amount jeffcoats been hurt opportunities have existed.

    And before last year they had guys like kongbo and Hansen taking effective reps at end so again, been looking for a couple years? I call bullshit. Last year they found haba who did alright for a rookie but don't forget he was hurt too and then didn't get on the roster because reasons. 

    I guess my point is... your point is bad and you should feel bad.

    Yeah, I think a lot of people took it as him saying something sexist about the basketball player, but all I got out of it was that he was shitting on the CFL. At any rate, he's a tool and the sooner he leaves the league, the better. 

    Yeah it was all about shitting on cfl salaries. Which is rich coming from a guy who has one of the biggest paycheques in the league based on one season's work.

    This will probably piss some people off who through the lens of nostalgia will remember sellers as a perfect player but here goes. 
    Big mike was such a rare and unique talent, he was much more valuable than a fb, but at the same time less effective in some areas than other much lesser FBs. 
     He was, one of the greatest blocking backs in football history. He was as good as an extra tackle in both run pro and pass pro. 
     He had tremendous hands, can’t count how many times I saw him pick passes out of the air or off his shoe laces. But he had a tendency to look up field and drop some easier ones. 
    with a head of steam he was one of the hardest guys to tackle in the league. 
     But this was also his biggest fault. He needed a good bit of room to get up to speed. If contact was made with in a few yards of him getting the ball, he was much easier to tackle. Most FBs excel in short yardage. We frequently used blink in short yardage because he hit the hole soo fast and hard he was tough to stop. He could also squirt though a tiny gap and turn a 1 yard dive into a 50 yard gain. 
     Sellers didn’t run particularly well out of a fb position. For instance the game Charlie missed and where mike decimated the riders defence in Winnipeg, we ran out of extemely deep sets with him 7 yards back, or on delays from shot gun. He had a big td production season in the nfl where they did the same with him, or wrapped him from the back side h back spot to the play side. 
     

    Sellers however, was also one of the best teams players. From blocking, to kick cover where he broke into the league. He was a pro bowl caliber teams guy, blocker, red zone threat, great catcher, and had devastating power. 
     

    He wasn’t alstott, but he was probably the most valuable player at fb in the modern and semi modern history of the league. 
     

    He was basically an OL that could catch. And it was damned glorious.
