Mangini sticking with Hillis at TAILBACK (excerpt from Browns day after press conference):
<NOBR>
(On if they are going to stick with <NOBR>Peyton Hillis
<OBR><NOBR> at running back after his performance)<OBR>
<NOBR><OBR>
<NOBR><OBR>
<NOBR>"Yes. I really felt strongly about Peyton when we had the chance to trade for him, really strongly <OBR>
<NOBR>about him. I had seen some of the things that he had done against our defense, which I felt was<OBR>
<NOBR>a good defense at that point and against other good defenses. Some of the things he did in the <OBR>
<NOBR>early part of the year, in training camp. I think he's a good player and I think he's very tough with <OBR>
<NOBR>the ball in his hands. He had close to 200 yards of offense between his carries and his catches, <OBR>
<NOBR>that's, to me is not a fluke. He is a good player and I think he'll continue to get better. <OBR>
<NOBR>He's got a great attitude. I was excited when we got him and I hope everybody sees why."Â<OBR>
