Gameball of the Week: Peyton Hillis, and the Need for a Backup RB

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.

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.

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.

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.
Dawgs By Nature - Covering the Cleveland Browns on SB Nation.
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.
Is there an easy way to check everyone’s practice squads quickly?

If Steve Slaton would be moved to the practice squad for Texas, we should snag him up.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Bell or Clayton?

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.

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.

I wonder if they’ve considered this over in The Jungle… Being behind “the lowly Browns”… Gotta be a humbling experience.
On an ironic note: It takes awesome fans to celebrate being in 3rd place :p
BUT, I called this at the beginning of the year and I’m sticking to it: At the end of the year, we’ll be celebrating being ahead of the Steelers in the division. Lord, haste the day.
Amen to that!

Believe it or not, I saw some power rankings that put the bungles in front of us. More proof that all writers hate the Browns.

Ugh. Florio at PFT had us ranked way high (probably too high, ahead of a ton of teams with better records) — he must hate us as well? I am sure only a biased writer would not put us in the top 10.

Wow. Proof that these power rankings mean absolutely nothing. I love our team, but c’mon now.

Floyd Womack. He played right tackle when the Browns won games last year, and he was back at tackle for the past two games. Should he just stay at right tackle?
The was rock solid yesterday, I was quite surprised.

Absolutely, we dominated the right side yesterday (as well as the left)

Maurice Clarett has seemed to get his shit together, maybe he would be an asset. You cannot deny his game day motivation- the guy played hard all the time.

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.
Fooootball has been beary beary good to me.
he also doesn’t run a sub-5 40 anymore.

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.
There is a special place in hell for Steelers fans.
