Re: Give Big Mike The Damn Ball!
I think it's a good thing to run 2 or 3 times a game tops. If he can catch a defense sleeping and get to the second level, he's a load. I don't think anyone should look for him to be a feature back even in short yardage, though if it were me, I would try it out in pre-season (it being Sellers as the primary short yardage back). Receiving, I would look for him to rebound a bit and have in the area of 30 catches and several scores. He could have as many as 50 catches if the defense is right.
The bottom line is that if I were th O.C., he would always be in on 1st and 2nd down. The only time he's not in is on 3rd and long and even there I could make a case. He is a totally unique physical specimen. The Redskins need to be taking more advantage of him.
