over 1 year ago: CLEVELAND - NOVEMBER 07: Running back Peyton Hillis #40 of the Cleveland Browns celebrates their victory over the New England Patriots at Cleveland Browns Stadium on November 7 2010 in Cleveland Ohio. (Photo by Matt Sullivan/Getty Images)
This post is sponsored by Sprint.
After the Browns' 34-14 victory over the Patriots, I don't think there is any doubt that running back Peyton Hillis deserves the game ball again. In all three Cleveland victories, he has been instrumental in closing out the game with punishing runs. More than any other game this season though, his impact was evident against the Patriots. He registered career highs across the board in carries (29), rushing yards (184), and touchdowns (2). He also added 3 catches for 36 yards.
He also helped the efficiency of rookie quarterback Colt McCoy, who completed 73.6% of his passes. Many of those completions came off of playaction. On NBC's Football Night in America on Sunday Night, analyst Tony Dungy showed a play in which linebacker Jared Mayo came up on a playaction. As soon as McCoy set, he was able to fire to Mayo's vacated coverage position, netting an easy 24-yard completion to tight end Ben Watson.
The Browns are a hot football team right now, but it looks more and more like the threat of Hillis must be present. In that case, that places extra emphasis on the most important postion the team is lacking right now: a good backup running back.
Before the bye week, Hillis was a little banged up. He seemed fine after carrying the load against New England, but when the Browns were up by 20, who cringed a little at still seeing Hillis in the game? Eventually, the team did end up giving the last couple of carries to fullback Lawrence Vickers, but it still stood out in my mind: would we be able to do anything without Hillis?
Earlier this year, for whatever reason, Jerome Harrison just didn't work out. He was shipped away, so we can't worry about him anymore. His replacement, Mike Bell, has not been productive any time he has come into the game to give Hillis a breather. That was seen in the first drive of the game against New England -- after two big plays, Bell was given the ball two times in a row. His first carry went for two yards, and his second carry went for one yard. In both instances, there appeared to be plenty of room to run but Bell couldn't capitalize. He finished the game with 6 carries for 7 yards, and ended up leaving with an injury.
The only other running back on the roster is Thomas Clayton, a player with no experience in regular season games. James Davis was waived a couple of weeks ago.
I think the Browns need to invite a couple of free agent running backs in, perhaps even former Brown Chris Jennings, for tryouts to offer a threat when Hillis isn't in the game. Right now, Bell isn't cutting it, and Hillis has proven to be too valuable. If the Browns keep playing as physical as they are, wouldn't it be great to have another back who can split some time with Hillis against lesser teams (i.e. Buffalo and Carolina), so that Hillis will still be near 100% when the Browns play three divisional games to finish off the season? What do you think?

Yes, yes, and yes! Imagine how our backfield could look had Hardesty not been injured. Thunder & Lightning? It’s a little early to say how Hardesty would have done though. Back to the point though, we absolutely need another back to give Hillis a breather. He may be fine, but we are really using him to the max right now. It would be nice if Bell would step up, but every time I see him in the game, I almost expect a 1-2yd run.
Kimble_79 - November 8, 2010
You know who could be had on the cheap? Cadillac Williams. Playing behind our line, he could do more than just spell Hillis against bad teams. Same with Ernest Graham. Either one would be better than any of the options available via FA. If we can pry one loose for a sixth or seventh rounder, I say go for it.
golanbatrac - November 8, 2010
We can’t trade for anyone. The trade deadline is long past.
woodsmeister - November 8, 2010
Holy shit. That was a category 5 brainfart.
golanbatrac - November 8, 2010
Well understood amidst the improbability and afterglow of Browns´ wins over the Saints and Pats.
realmccoy - November 8, 2010
Cadillac and Graham are both done, much as it pains me to say it. I’m a big Bucs fan and have seen a lot of those guys.
mgtbfb - November 8, 2010
i have an idea for a backup running back. his name is jerome harrison. dumb trade
cchaffee20 - November 8, 2010
Jerome Harrison wasn’t playing any better than Mike Bell.
notthatnoise - November 8, 2010
This has been covered quite a bit in other topics but I don’t think Harrison was going to try anymore for the Browns. Drafting Hardesty and picking up Hillis made Harrison vulnerable to an attitude crisis. It came and he went. And he isn’t exactly tearing things up over with the Eagles. Only 2 carries for 6 yards.
Brownsyup - November 9, 2010
exactly.
notthatnoise - November 9, 2010
Just a couple of names that could be thrown out there, in no particular order:
1. Ryan Moats – Former Eagle, a third round pick, who was with the organization during Heckert’s time.
2. Larry Johnson – Probably not worth the trouble attitude-wise and salary-cap wise, but he was ready to accept smaller roles in Cincy and Washington.
3. Jamal Lewis – Heh, funny that he is a “physical” back who is available. I’m not interested in him though, just mentioning his availability.
4. Justin Fargas – This one sounds compelling. I always thought he performed “well enough” for Oakland when they had a long stretch of being a bad football team. He has surgery in March, but was in Denver during camp. The Giants also worked him out a couple of weeks ago.
5. Aaron Stecker – He’s a veteran utility player who would offer a nice rush/pass combo. He was on the same team with Scott Fujita in New Orleans for a couple of years too. The Packers worked him out in early October.
Chris Pokorny - November 8, 2010
Wouldn’t mind Fargas. I also checked all the practice squads, and it’s pretty slim pickings. I think Chris Henry on the Seahawks practice squad is one player that might be decent.
Roger Dorn - November 8, 2010
Is there an easy way to check everyone’s practice squads quickly?
Chris Pokorny - November 8, 2010
I googled it. It had updated practice squads as of 11/2.
Link
Roger Dorn - November 8, 2010
If Steve Slaton would be moved to the practice squad for Texas, we should snag him up.
Kimble_79 - November 8, 2010
He has far surpassed his eligibility for a practice squad by virtue of the number of games he’s played in.
Chris Pokorny - November 8, 2010
No on 2 and 3. I would not object to Moats, Fargas, and Stecker. they are the most useful IMO.
I think Stecker and Lewis have nothing left in the tank Physically so I would go after Fargas or Moats. Fargas may be better if he still has it, but he may not have it anymore either.
bross09 - November 8, 2010
I remember Fargas running well when I bothered to look at Oakland, so I’d take him in a heartbeat. Don’t recall how he was on catching and blocking though.
JustBob - November 9, 2010
Did anybody notice the Belicheck/Hillis sumit after the game?
Being sarcastic here,not more than 5/6 seconds at most but for Bill that’s kinda long after getting stomped on.
I can understand the very short coach to coach handshake but did you watch long enough to see Bill looking for & finding Hillis?
I’m pretty sure it was just a “Hey nice job kid,hell of a game” from Bill but it kinda looked more like it could have gone “Hey Peyton great game,how many years left on your contract”? " LOL
Peyton almost had that deer in headlights look while Bill spoke,would be interesting to hear what had been said.
Groza - November 8, 2010
Forgot where I read it, but Hillis said that Bill just told him he had a great game. Bill probably called McDaniels yesterday and gave him an earful for trading him . . . and trading him for Brady Quinn . . . and for giving us two draft picks as well. Ouch.
TheDriveStillHurts - November 8, 2010
As much as I don’t care for Belichick, I think he respected how well Hillis played.
And unlike that asshat Ray Lewis, I think Belichick was paying his respect to Hillis for owning them.
Bernie19Kosar - November 8, 2010
They asked Peyton about it in the postgame press conference, he said that Bellicheat said “I am impressed by you” or something like that.
Roger Dorn - November 8, 2010
I think Jennings makes a lot sense.
TheDriveStillHurts - November 8, 2010
Fargas is intriguing, as is Jennings. I still don’t understand the whole James Davis ordeal.
BrutalMovement - November 8, 2010
If all we needed in a back is one that can deliver a blow, we have Vickers. There’s more to it than that. Hillis has other qualities that separate him from other bruisers. And you aren’t going to find most of those qualities in backs that other teams would not also covet. So, Bell is as good a sub as can be had. I did like Jennings’ work when he was given pre season reps.
elsandito - November 8, 2010
Chauncey Washington (USC) is a free agent. He spent most of this year on the Jets PS before being signed by the Rams and then cut a few weeks later. The Jets kept him over Danny Woodhead.
golanbatrac - November 8, 2010
Just a thought
on when you said “a player with no experience in regular season games.” Hillis was once that guy. He wasn’t drafted in the 1st round or anything. Not that you can bank on a guy being a Peyton Hillis, but unknown guys can have talent.
Orange Rush - November 8, 2010
Congratulations on the win. Your team outplayed us for 60 minutes and whooped our butts good.
Could you do us a favor and beat the Jets next week, too? Thanks.
SlotMachinePlayer - November 8, 2010
We’ll do our best. Please take care of the Steelers in kind
Spidey - November 8, 2010 via mobile
Sounds like a deal. We beat the Jets and you beat the Steelers. Where do we sign?
Brownsyup - November 9, 2010
You all should just draft Bilal Powell
TheRealSlimShady - November 8, 2010
Do you ever say anything that is not ridiculously lame anymore? I have no problem with you continuing to come here, but if all you add are silly comments asking whether we shaved last week — or this one — you should go hang out at the Notre Dame board or with the Broncos and Panthers. Thanks.
TheDriveStillHurts - November 8, 2010
This is honestly a kind of serioius suggestion. He is a good running back. I don’t think I’m hurting anybody by saying that.
TheRealSlimShady - November 8, 2010
I’ve got Hillis and Hardesty. Drafting a RB should be the last priority.
Simmsinns - November 8, 2010
I’m not sure we can count on Hardesty for anything right now. I certainly wouldn’t mind picking a RB in the 4th round or so next year.
Buckeye Brad - November 8, 2010
Again, last priority. If we’ve addressed all our other needs by the 4th round, than maybe…
Simmsinns - November 8, 2010
I’m not sure why it’s our last priority. Right now we have one good RB. We need more than that, and Hardesty is a big question mark.
Buckeye Brad - November 8, 2010
Agreed.
emily522 - November 8, 2010
Personally, I think we have much more pressing needs elsewhere.
Agree to disagree on that.
Simmsinns - November 8, 2010
I think if we start to develop a consistent offense outside of Hillis then the RB position is less of a issue, but just based on where we stand now I think we really need to get some viable depth there.
JustBob - November 9, 2010
Hardesty has proven nothing and has a scary injury history. I’m not saying you guys should draft one early, but a mid/late round pick isn’t a bad idea.
TheRealSlimShady - November 8, 2010
Powell would most likely be a late round pick. Maybe the conditional from the Quinn trade.
Villeslgr - November 9, 2010
You think Powell will last through two drafts huh?
SpecialBrownie - November 9, 2010
I thought the conditional was 2011? Chit, got me again.
Villeslgr - November 9, 2010
Browns get Denver’s 6th round pick in this years (2011) draft.
We don’t have a 7th this season because of the Seneca Wallace trade.
Bernie19Kosar - November 9, 2010
the problem is
a) it didn’t come off as 100% serious
b) many of your comments here in the last month haven’t been really serious in nature.
bross09 - November 8, 2010
I thought he was serious. I know TRSS lives near Louisville and Powell plays there so it seemed a logical comment for him to make.
Buckeye Brad - November 8, 2010
I was mostly serious. I was kind of just throwing it out there though.
TheRealSlimShady - November 8, 2010
But I seriously think he could be a big sleeper for someone. He runs similar to Arian Foster.
TheRealSlimShady - November 8, 2010
Its clear multiple people here didn’t (I thought it came off as not serious)
bross09 - November 8, 2010
Is there anything really that wrong with #2? It’s not like I’ve been trolling outside of maybe one comment.
TheRealSlimShady - November 8, 2010
its not that there is nothing wrong with B (I am assuming #2 means B). However it makes people more inclined to think that you aren’t going to be serious. I guess you could call it the “boy who cried wolf syndrome”.
Point is: if you want to be truly taken seriously by everyone, making non-serious remarks as a habit isn’t a good way of establishing that integrity to be taken seriously.
bross09 - November 8, 2010

I heard Maurice Clarett is available.
jaws. - November 8, 2010
Chris Jennings is in the UFL or something I believe, and probably couldn’t get out of his contract.
notthatnoise - November 8, 2010
Before we faced the Steelers a few weeks ago, I know he said he would love to come back to the Browns. Did he sign with the UFL since then?

When will the Browns be allowed to play some real teams?
Saints and Patriots cannot even put up a fight
WarWolf - November 8, 2010
Mike Bell does look horrid. What is his long run like 3 yards? I am for giving Clayton a shot. We obviously prefer him to Jennings – so let us see what he has got.
realmccoy - November 8, 2010
He just runs straight at the line. it’s weird.
Roger Dorn - November 8, 2010
Bell or Clayton?
Kimble_79 - November 9, 2010
Bell’s stats are pretty bad right now: 13 carries for 7 yards. That’s about a foot and a half a carry. Harrison has only carried twice for the Eagles for 6 yards… a better average but not all that exciting either. I don’t think either will be a starter or feature anytime soon. I’m sure the front office is anxiously searching the practice squads and watching the waiver wire. We need a viable backup in case of injury to Hillis.
Brownsyup - November 9, 2010
Bell
Roger Dorn - November 9, 2010
Funniest thing I’ve heard all week. Mike Terrico yelling “LOOK OUTTTT!!!!”
SpecialBrownie - November 8, 2010
I don’t know if anyone else is watching MNF, but Pouncey cannot block Demetko Peko. At all.
Bernie19Kosar - November 8, 2010
I have been watching because I wanted to see what the fuss was about.
Maybe he is having a bad game, but he is getting owned.
Bernie19Kosar - November 8, 2010
WHAT???? HE’S THE BEST CENTER EVER APPARENTLY.
I am legitimately shocked. Like extremely.
SpecialBrownie - November 8, 2010
And now he’s injured. Haha.
SpecialBrownie - November 8, 2010
I don’t wish injury on people. Not cool.
TheDriveStillHurts - November 8, 2010
Eh, he’s fine now. I was more laughing at the fact that this game has shown how this kid should not be on the pedestal he’s been put on, not that he got injured.
SpecialBrownie - November 8, 2010
I am not. however this is not surprising.
I don’t remember how he did against Tuba and Rogers, but there were some questions coming out how he can handle the big DTs/NTs. Supposedly he just got destroyed by Ngata.
Even though Peko isn’t a NT, he is huge for a DT. He is listed at 320 and may be even bigger. He is bigger than some NTs.
The guy is like Jeff Faine. the problem with him when we drafted him was that he wasn’t good at blocking the NTs and from what I heard, thats why we shipped him out.
bross09 - November 8, 2010
The MNF crew just spent five whole minutes apologizing for James Harrison. I was sickened.

Free food.
Simmsinns - November 8, 2010
Free food, free board. Super short commute. Commuter’s tuition. Ability to have a job. Ability to have your car in your driveway all the time and not thrown into a huge room and board parking lot.
What do you think I’m doing?
SpecialBrownie - November 8, 2010
Sounds nice. I forgot Commuters also get slightly less tution at some schools. Its the same thing I am doing with Tri-C.
Its a B***h to park on campus there, then again its a B***h to park on any college campus and THAT is the advantage.
bross09 - November 8, 2010
The trick is to get early classes. You may bitch waking up early, but it’s always nice to have the first parking spot in the commuter lot everyday.
SpecialBrownie - November 8, 2010
Online courses = win. I only go to class 1 day a week, but I’m taking 9 credit hours.
Simmsinns - November 8, 2010
EDIT: 10 credit hours.
Simmsinns - November 8, 2010
Scheduling two days ahead of every other sophomore and being a semester ahead=win. I go Tues- Thurs and I still have 15 credit hours.
SpecialBrownie - November 8, 2010
I had to go 5 days a week my freshmen year… and hated it. I was there by 7 am and didn’t leave until 10:30 pm. It was freaking awful. I also missed the first half of MNF throughout 2009.
Since then I have not over loaded my credit hours, and I really don’t care at all if it takes me longer.
Simmsinns - November 9, 2010
Same. I got started early in High school so I pace myself at an average of 15 per semester. I’ll still get out a semester early, so booyah!
SpecialBrownie - November 9, 2010
I go to 2 classes a week, 2 days a week and I have 14 credits. Baller!
Then again, I had to go to a 3 hour class once a week, but that was an 8 weeker. now, I just have my 2 hybrid classes and my one online class.
bross09 - November 9, 2010
thats true. I can never wake up early. Even then, it goes without saying that the parking situation on a campus sucks…unless you go to a small private school. I have been trying to decide which state school I eventually want to go to and have used college prowler and all the big state schools have bad parking situations

No. No thank you. Never for me please. I coached here in Trumbull County when he went to High School and he was a snot head then, and he only got worse. I can’t imagine prison, or any amount of counseling has changed his stripes. His 15 minutes are over and done.

He’s a 3rd string running back in the UFL. No thanks.

I know there was some talk that Mangini was trying hard not to smile after the win… But you guys should head over to clevelandbrowns.com and watch the ATT Locker Room Report. It shows some footage in the locker room after the game… Mangini looked pretty giddy in the locker room. It was nice :)

I saw that too
I think it’s funny how in 3 weeks, most fans I know have changed their Mangina tune to Mangenius. Winning does a number on your reputation. It was kind of neat to see the players award the coach with the game ball.
