Flugs if we can run the ball it would change a lot of things. Kind of like winning.

We can (could) when Hillis is (was) on the field. Too bad there seems to be never ending drama there.

Last year yes. This year, not so much. In the 4 games Hillis played this year 3.5 y/c or less, outside of the TEN game. When he got 27 carries against IND (a bad rush D) he could only average 3.5 y/c for a total of 94 yards.

True, but I think he needs time to get into a rhythm, you know? And since he's kinda the biggest threat we have, he's getting all the focus of the D. Had he been able to play consistently every week? We'd see his y/c back up.
