<![CDATA[Peyton Hillis]]>just a more experianced Toby Gerhart

just 81 Carries since 2008 so still has alot of tred left

played WR/TE/FB/KR and RB at Arkansas

6'1 245 4.55 40 4.24 20 yd Shuttle 30 rep at 225 28 inch vert

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/...yers/12375.html

BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter who totaled 62/347/2 on the ground last season when he led Arkansas in receiving with 49/537/5. Junior-year totals included pass-catching numbers of 19/159. Has lined up at both fullback and tailback. Used to return punts the past three seasons.

POSITIVES: Athletic lead blocker who.s also been productive handling the ball. Plays with a good degree of quickness, shows good vision, and fast enough to turn the corner and create space for the ball-carrier. Works hard, seals opponents from the action, and chips defenders to open lanes for running backs. Effective receiver who adjusts to the errant throw and makes the reception in stride. Possesses the speed to be a downfield pass-catching threat. Instinctive, immediately picks up blitzes, and stays with assignments.

NEGATIVES: Marginally strong at the point, gathers into blocks, and rarely finishes off defenders. Does a lot of unnecessary cut-blocking. Lacks top ball-carrying skills.

ANALYSIS: Hillis is an oversized running back who lacks the pure strength to be a lead blocker. His pass-catching skills and athleticism are best suited for a west coast offense.

When you're in the same backfield with Darren McFadden and Felix Jones, it's easy to get overshadowed. But Hillis deserves a lot of the credit for the Razorbacks' dynamic tailbacks putting up such big numbers. He certainly helped open some running lanes. But, Hillis is more than a one-dimensional blocker. He rushed for 327 yards and two touchdowns on 57 carries and was even more effective in the passing game, hauling in a team-high 44 receptions for 485 yards and five TDs.

Hillis is more athletic than most fullbacks, as well as faster. He runs a 4.55 in the 40-yard dash. He has tremendous receiving skills and understands the game. Scouts love his motor. His combination of speed and size makes him valuable in a number of roles, with him having the potential to be a force on special teams.

Scouts question whether he has the bulk to be a true NFL fullback. He needs to become a better blocker. He hasn't shown the power to be a consistent short-yardage threat. While he has good speed, he isn't elusive. Some scouts wonder about his durability. He won't be suited for some schemes, but should fit in with a West Coast offense. He has the potential to contribute in several ways. He projects to be a mid-round selection in the NFL Draft.

If we can keep Vickers as a run blocker and bring Hillis in on 3rd downs his role could be much like Chester Taylor's role was with the Viking's this past year. He gives us blocking AND a good set of hands and creates more options for us.

He's a football player guys....He'll make a difference. He will be an excellent role player here at Cleveland.

LMFAO HAHAHAHAHA

he had 4 fluke games

Actually, it was only one fluke game. Only it wasn't really a fluke. KC's LBing corps was completely depleted. In the final two games Harrison averaged under 4 yards a carry, but carried the ball about 75 times. End of the year. Fresh legs. I remember Lee Suggs having a similar end of the year. Harrison's earned a chance, but I'm keeping my expectations in check. Sounds like the front office is too.

It is comments like this that make some media folk seem like they are just talking to talk. I mean seriously. The Browns will keep him around for at least 1 year, if for no other reason than to save face.

That is why Vickers is here (fingers-crossed). We need playmakers and if you watch the video of this dude, he is nothing but.

I'll be upset if Vickers leaves, the man is an animal of a run blocker.

Vickers is Very Good. This Hillis at Arkansas In 4 yrs Peyton Hillis Carries 203 yards 959 TD 12 on Ground Added about 1300 yrds and 11 TDs as a reciever.

22 games 81 Totes 397 Yards 619 4.9 YPC 7TD 18 Rec. 198 yrds 11.0 Per Catch 1 TD with Denver.

Quinn still had Upside so , I would assume that Hillis had some Value to The Broncos. Stats dont tell a Whole lot though solid but Limited work.

But Hillis' role won't truly be determined until Vickers is taken care of. If he leaves Hillis will most likely start at FB.

 Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post doesn't believe that newly acquired Peyton Hillis is a lock to make the Browns' roster.

Lombardi questions Hillis' "blocking and production without the ball," in addition to the fullback/tailback's toughness. We'd argue that Hillis' versatility could be a nice fit in Mike Holmgren's West Coast scheme. Holmgren may envision Hillis in the same mold as longtime Packers FB William Henderson.

Nah. If it weren’t for content and blatant homerism, at least Lumbergh sounded somewhat intelligent. Athens just makes bold statements without anything to back them up, and ends up consistently being wrong, but won’t admit it. Completely different. Lumbergh was a loser, Athens is a tool.

Harrison will be the starter, but Hillis is the PERFECT compliment to Harrison. Harrison is quick and shifty and a home run threat, and Hillis is a 240-lb. ramrod who can pound the ball on short yardage and run downhill when we need to eat clock.

I really love the Quinn trade. I want to marry Mike Holmgren.
