He's legit. Denver giving him and a 6th up for Quinn really shows their ineptitude, probably why they're like 2-5.

Cleveland is quietly putting a very nice team together. Give this team a couple more solid draft picks, a healthy Hardesty, a big time WR, and watch out.

That's why it's important for Hardesty to come back next year and be a big part of the offense. What a 2 back punch that would be!

What I really like about Hillis, is the fact that when it gets to the last 3 or 4 minutes of the game, he becomes even more beastly!!

There's no greater feeling then having a lead at the end of the game and knowing that the other team know's you're going to run the ball and they still can't stop you.

He's not good. All of his runs are luck. Probably one of the 3 worst in the league.

Agreed. He is crap...if he played for OSU he would have been crappier.

On pace for 1,200+ yards and 14 TD's, but I agree, he's turrible.

I'm just glad some of the national media are finally giving him credit for his pas-catching ability too. When he was at the UofA he was the leading receiver, and the punisher when it came to relieving DMac and Jones. Funny thing is that he almost moved to linebacker his sophomore year. He wasn't getting many toughes behind the other two guys, and he was such a competitor that he went to Houston Nutt and asked to be moved to linebacker since thier Defense was struggling. Good thing he was told to stay put in the backfield.

I think he should try out for high hurdles when the next Olympics rolls around. It's got to be easier to hurdle something that isn't trying to tackle you. :)

A 1-2 punch like that really wears down defenses, add a solid WR and that offense with Mccoy will be legit. Kinda the thing the Falcons do with Turner and Snelling(both 230ish) By the end of the game defenses dont want anything to do with them

You are insane. Did you even watch his game today? He was going off. That jumping catch he made was awesome...especially for a guy his size.

no I refuse to watch a Browns game. I would rather watch a women's NFL game.

Not a fan. He fumbles too much. I wish we still had Harrison, he is better and more shifty thus is always capable of the big gainer. Hillis is not.

Even though my post was facetious, that is true. Although, he has much BETTER speed than I would ever expect. Plus, when he gets going, a lot of times he will be able to get the extra 20 yards anyway because he is so hard to bring down. We saw it a few times today and on his TD run he outran/outmuscled the NE defenders.

The thing is that on the TD run late in the 4th, NE was pressing the LOS, but his burst to the outside and then down the sideline was certainly not expected by me.

Is Craig James in trouble?
