What Peyton Hillis Brings the Browns-From a Bronco Fan
-
if his hands are so good why not use him as a TE hybrid?
i'd like to see if Hillis could possibly fill some of Heiden's old role. in that capacity we'd still use all our current backs and he could release and catch passes too. i hope he becomes another weapon.

i am nervous as hell about vickers. i want him to stay. aside from his stellar playing, his post-game interview after beating the steelers makes me want to keep in cleveland forever.

Sounds like just what we need.

Although, if he is a fullback, don't we already have a good one in Vickers?
Or will this guy be more of a runner than Vickers.
Baby Bull Backfield? Vickers and this guy?

Peyton Hillis is a throwback player. He's 250 pounds of hard running attitude. He can play FB, RB, KR and while he won't outrace too many, he will occassionaly run them over and smile while doing it. He'll try his best to make a tackler pay for the hit. He'll fight for every inch, and he's a team guy. He was put in McDaniels doghouse early last season and never got out. None of us seem to know exactly what he did, it just happened. Hillis had some of the best hands on the Broncos team. The kid can flat out catch. You guys are getting a hard-nosed, country boy that will fight for everything he gets and plays with a chip on his shoulder. I hope he gets a chance to play there, because he's fun to watch. He got traded because of the doghouse, not his contributions to the team. He was a fan favorite here and will be a fan favorite in Cleveland if he gets his chance. Very good pick up Browns fans, you're going to love him

Holy crap. Sounds like we should just stitch "MANGINI" on the back of this guy's jersey.
And thank you, BroncosFan, for that information. By the way, John Elway can die of gonorrhea and rot in hell.

From some of the Mangini interviews I have read, he is not putting Hillis and Vickers in an either - or situation. He has described plans for both of them to be in the same bacvkfield, Hillis with Harrrison, and Vickers with Harrison. Sounds good to me.
BTW, Mangini was "present" when Hillis had the best rushing performance of his career in 2008 against the Jets. That may be why Mangini speaks well of what Hillis brings to the Browns.

We are going to love this kid.
He can catch & opposing Ds had better be prepared to hit him more than once to take him down. Looks like a TANK on short yardage plays, although he appears to be a solid "every down" power back. I am very partial to this kind of back.

Same here Mike, this kid is a player and kudos to the boys for getting Denver to give him up. I am very excited about what he brings to the table. I can easily see him being a fan favorite in no time.
He is a perfect compliment for Harrison and teamed with Vickers (hopefully) will give us a power set to be reckoned with.
The kid is versatile, smart, powerful, a great pass catcher and has some wheels. He loves to hit too. You can win in this league with guys like him.

Before he got fired, Shanny publicly mused about using Hillis in that type of role: not limiting him to TE, but allowing him to use his versatile skill set at a couple different spots.
I hope we see his skill set maximally utilized in that way in Cleveland.
