This guy is becoming my favorite NFL player nothing better than watching him play reminds me of Riggins!

The Brows have a good offensive line. Hillis is running good though, much better than Harrison has been.

I think he is going to give the Bengals some problems.

Riggins from the Skins or Riggins from Friday night lights?

You could tell he was a stud when he got his chance with Denver, I love the guy.

Here's a nice piece of trivia- Of the three running backs drafted out of The University of Arkansas in 2008, Peyton Hillis has the most touchdowns in the NFL. That's more than McFadden or Felix Jones. Who saw that coming?

Hard to believe that Harrison is not the guy in Cleveland now. All you heard in pre-season was how many touches this guy was going to get and even Mangini stated that he would be an every down back. Then he and Hillis split carries the very first game out of the box and Hillis has now earned the starting position. Good for him - back for those of us who drafted Harrison expecting him to produce something meaningful. :irked:

I picked him up off waivers and sat him last week. 23 points left on the bench! Good thing I'm winning 133-66.

Harrison had a nice run at the end of '09 but I heard many who doubted his ability to be an every down back. Hardesty would have been the man if he didn't get injured. Arkansas had some pretty good backs if you ask me.

Yeah, but that's exactly the killer. Once Hardesty went down, it seemed a sure thing that Harrison would be the guy and get 20+ touches a game. No one - at least nothing that I read - said anything at all about Hillis being a relevent factor in the browns' backfield. Oh well, that's what makes FFL fun.

And I drafted him after Hardesty went down. I took him early, but as my first backup RB. Could have gotten several other players who are having much better years (obviously) and it is frustrated the heck out of me. Especially after Grant went down.

 

But, to stay true to the thread. I haven't had the opportunity to watch Hillis play yet, but I guess I will this weekend.

Here is an interesting article about Peyton Hillis.

I love watching the big guy run. I see Hillis as a poor man's Bettis.

More like a John Riggins!

Bettis could never jump over a guy.
