Offensive line depth (R. Thomas' injury)

[JoeRedskin]

Sellers on his drop:

"Win or no win, Mike Sellers was ticked Sunday afternoon. He kept his back to the locker room. He answered questions tersely, his voice low and quiet. He pretty hurriedly left the room through a back door. I ran into him as he was leaving the facility, while he was stopping to joke with some kids and sign some autographs. I told him he looked pissed off.

"I am pissed off," he said. "I dropped a touchdown. I'm one of the guys you depend on, and I had it in my hands, and I didn't catch it. I didn't come through with what I was preaching to everybody else all week long."

Rage was trickling out through his eyes. You've never seen a victorious player fume like this. I asked whether the win didn't make him feel better.

"No," he said. "We won, yeah, but my performance, I'm not happy with it. I'm not. I've got to be hard on myself, because I expect more out of myself. Lack of concentration. Don't worry about it, I'll be on the JUGS machine, working on it.""

I'll concede that perhaps JC is not the problem cause I'm not of the mind set that I hate him or don't like him. But I will say you'd have a hard time finding anyone on the team right now that would be pointing fingers at others, of course they are going to blame themselves for not getting the job done. No different then if you had asked JC about the play he might have said "I could have lightened up on the throw a little" or " I could have gotten it to him sooner." I seriously doubt you would find JC saying "Oh that was all Sellers. He screwed up." or " Sellers saying "That was all JC he needs to not blast it at me so close."

Actually, JC pretty much called out his receivers (appropriately, it seems to me) - from that same article:

On Jason Campbell - "He wasn't surly or angry or shouting, but he let it be known that he didn't appreciate the two dropped balls in the red zone, by Sellers and Devin Thomas.

'Well you know, it's frustrating,' Campbell told Johnson. 'We had two touchdown passes early in the game [that were dropped]. You're talking about game-changing plays, because now we're up 14 to zero, and that gives us the opportunity to take some confidence out of that team. And when you're just getting field goals what it does is you're continuing to put confidence into the Rams, and they just continue to feel like they can hang around, continue to play with you. And you saw what happened, it ended up being a nailbiter.' "
