Vick throws a pick on the first drive and Tollefson puts him on his ass during the return.

Eagles defense not introduced yet but it appears they have 2 whites on defense - making 8 total.

This is the whitest Philly team in years and could get whiter when Vick is benched/injured.

Giants start 6 whites with their usual coal black defense.

Vick almost throws his second pick.

Bills have 6 white starters on offense but are down to two on defense. they use to have 4-5 regularly!

so apparently Hartline is not he fastest guy but he can make "artistic, acrobatic" catches... thanks for that trivia, commentators!

Gronkowski is incredible. He just catches everything thrown his way and he's uncoverable. Hopefully he gets 100 yards on the day, only 29 more to go!

beautiful pass from Henne to Hartline!

Gronkowski will beat single season receiving touchdown record if he keeps it up at that pace!

Hardesty had a 14 yarder, line play is as abysmal as ever, so his ypc will drop.

Gerhart needs to find another team, hes never going to get enough carries behind Peterson. Peterson seems to slack off at times but it seems like every time Toby flashes some ability Peterson raises his playing level. He had 18 fumbles in 2 seasons, Gerhart enters and he cut it down to 1 and had his career long rush. Gerhart is basically there to motivate Peterson. I guess its good that he didn't go to the Texans because they would just say he is benefitting from the zbs. There are quite a few teams that could use Gerhart as a feature back.

How has the blocking been? better than the last few games with Hillis?

Edit: I guess it doesn't matter, 50+ yards on 10 carries, Hillis just earned himself into a 50/50 timeshare, even if he had 2 ypc for another 10 carries it would be 3.5. Two runs over 10 yards, I wasn't watching but I would imagine if Hillis was able to get to the 2nd level he would have some longer runs than that.

The question is the line run blocking better because of Pashos and gelling together? or are some of the guys elevating their play for Hardesty...

I don't have to see the game to know the answer to that.
Barry Sanders couldn't have gained any yards in the Browns first two games. There was just nothing there.
Maybe the sumos are playing harder for their bro Montario.

Hillis would of lit up the Dolphins defense. It will be a shame when he loses carries to Hardesty after establishing himself as a top RB in this league. If things go bad in Cleveland I still think Hillis can command a starting role somewhere else.

he made one nice cut to get free, other than that nothing out of the ordinary, Miami is not a good D. he looks fast enough but i don't understand why they talk about his strength, he goes down easily enough.

EDIT: Hillis would have about 80 yards at least with the very same playcalling and set up had he been in
