It'd be big to get him back, whether it will happen still seems murky. The team would avoid a big hole at RB by keeping him and would allow Heckert to focus more important positions in the draft. I think there's just no way anybody can give him big money, that's the way I see Hillis returning, but who knows.

I think they have to try and bring him back. Even with him, they need another RB. Hardesty has showed nothing. Nothing good anyway. I like Ogbonnaya though.

I like Ogbonnaya, that guy played hard every game he was in. I could see Cleveland using Hillis and Ogbonnaya together effectively.

Guy was overrated. Wasn't great in college either.

Hardesty hasn't been terrible. I mean he definitely hasn't shown anything close to what would justify the cost of drafting him, but he can be explosive. I still firmly believe this past season imploded from the get-go because of the injury to Steinbach. The offense didn't have a chance to be balanced with such a big hole in the line, which had little depth to begin with. Hardesty won't be a superstar but he's not as bad as you make him out to be, just in my opinion.

[Dragonite]

My thing with Hardesty is, will he ever make it through an entire season, somehow I doubt it. The dude is injury prone.

[cpgobrowns]

I would love to be wrong, I just haven't seen it yet. I agree about Steinbach. Not getting another option at RT and letting Vickers go were just as bad for the running game.

And not to go askew but it was all exacerbated by the lockout. New offense/defense, coaches, and a shift from one of the oldest teams to the youngest, I said all along they were hurt by lack of training camp more than anybody else. I'm excited to see what the club does with another offseason (with draft ammo) and full camp.
