Hah well I think he tried to put Taylor in there, but he looks to be done for his career. I don't know if Sammy Morris couldve done much either.
As for Hillis, Id like to remain optomistic, but its hard to believe he will get a big role if another coach comes in. Mike Alstott was a fan favorite as well, and made the pro bowl 6 times, even though it was at fullback. He couldve been an above average feature back on most teams. He only had 2 seasons with more than 200 carries. I am thinking if another coach comes there is a good chance he will get an Alstott type role, this is the reason they are trying to pound into fans heads that he is "wearing down" and mentioning his fumbles, when they hardly ever talked about the 18 fumbles AP had in 2 seasons and other backs that are performing similar at the end of the season. I think they are hoping less people will question if his role is reduced signifcantly and that they regurgitate msm articles saying "he wears down the way he runs" or "he fumbles too much", but more people are waking up thanks to this site and people who go on other forums and argue for our cause. I am hoping for the best though and hope he has a monster day against the Steelers to end the season on a good note, that way more dwfs would question if they did reduce his role.
Welker is going to have to have a monster day next week to crack 1,000 yards, its possible, he had 167 yards against the Dolphins last year and tends to have huge games against them. He will need 14 catches to hit the 100 catch mark, which he did last year against the Jets with 15. Fantasy sites mentioned that he has always had terrible games against the Bills and it is unexplainable, so I wouldn't put too much stock into his performance today. It would be nice for Danny to hit 1k from scrimmage as well as Welker getting 1k and 100 catches, but it might be hard because of what happened to Welker last season, depends on what Bellicheck decides.
