Peyton Hillis hasn’t contributed much to the Cleveland Browns offense this year. As a matter of fact some think Hillis has been offensive to the Browns much of this season. Hillis has 7 games under his belt this season and only has 346 yards rushing the football. Hillis has 101 rushing attempts and only a 3.4 yard average per attempt. One big reason I feel Hillis is doing so poorly is the loss of Lawrence Vickers as his main blocker. Last year it was Vickers who busted holes open so Hillis could run through them, this season nobody on the Browns has that type of blocking ability.
Hillis came into this season hoping the Browns would give him a contract extension. To me it looks as though the Browns front office knew exactly what they were doing in this case. Hillis just may end up being the one hit wonder that Cleveland certainly doesn’t need to pay large sums of money to. Hillis has three games left this year and I don’t see him being able to go out there and run like the Hillis of old. As sad as it is to say, Peyton Hillis could very well be moving on once the season is over.
Peyton Hillis should have begged the Browns to keep Lawrence Vickers on the Cleveland Browns roster. For Hillis has done very little without him…
