the same type of coach who runs Percy Harvin 2 consecutive times in a goal line situation back them up, and then putting Gerhart in with an obvious run play, and surprisingly they ran! the smart choice would have been either let Gerhart get more than 1 try at it, or play action after bringing him in.
the cutback was there on one of the stretch plays, Hillis didn't hit it. He just isn't 100 percent yet. Just goes to show that him not fully recovered is still better than what they have. He dealt with bad play calling and crappy blocking last year and still came on top with 4.4 ypc. On a better team he should be able to average over 5 ypc. He is one of the rare backs that can do well no matter what, there are only a few like that in the NFL. Would it help? yes especially right now.
