Does anyone know if Hillis was even at the Washington game? I didn't even see him on the sidelines.

During the preseason, and leading up to the season really, McD had nothing but positive things to say about hillis… how they need to find a way to get him the ball because he can do a lot of things. I personally don't mind Moreno & Buck, but why doesn't McD use more two back sets with hillis at FB so the D has to respect him catching balls out of the backfield.

His hands, IMO, are far better than definitely all the other backs and probably compares with most the receivers (def better than marshall) and he has proven that since his days at AR. And to the one who said he is only deserving of 2-3 catches/game…you're probably right, the Colts should probably cut back on the amt of balls going Dallas Clark's way too.

I've heard that Hillis is in the “doghouse” after fumbling a kickoff and goal line snap…but if it was solely based off fumbling wouldn't Moreno be on the scout team by now?

I definitely wasn't trying to discount Hillis's downhill running style – which can be very effective between the tackles. I was just pointing out that Moreno is also an excellent power runner. He leads the league in the smallest percentage of carries for negative yards – which is because he hits the hole fast and hard. Moreno's biggest issue thus far is he hits the hole to fast and doesn't let things develop – which is why he hasn't had any good distance runs.

My fear of Hillis is that he would be a one week fad. Yes, he would work, maybe only temporarily as not too many teams would have game planned for him.

I was twittering to GB about it, if Hillis is the answer it is: a.) a case of fans out smarting a very smart coaching staff. b.) a temporary fix. c.) a stupid question.

Hope that you’re right Kyle and I hope that we don’t have to unleash him against Washington and we can wait until we do actually need our hidden gem.

The Real Cartman was right… you are pathetic. You really don't have any idea what you're talking about either. You obviously have no idea what the QB's 1st and 2nd responsibility is on a screen play. Anyways, I am done with this conversation. Enjoy hating every week for the rest of the season and the next 10 years McDaniels is the head coach.

Peace

yes sure you have. anyone who blames the QB for a RB fumbling after he catches a pass has played loads of top division football. HAHAHAHAHAHA. what a crock. but just for the sake of argument, what college did you play at?? i played at Northern Colorado which is a REAL School in a REAL division.

oh i know you usually agree with me. i was speaking about the other deaf ears who, when a logical prediction or point is brought to them, just whine and snivel about how i should be a Raider fan and blah blah blah. that was the point i was conveying. and believe me i know about Ortons lack of spine. he wont take chances and it costs the team drives and ultimately points. i mean when it gets to the bottomline, Chances have to be taken in order to score points. mistakes are made and thats all there is to it. INT's are gonna be thrown but in that process TD can also be scored. and ive never seen Orton being sccused of being a good QB. thats for sure.
