LEX HILLIARD!

by finzrule on Nov 21, 2009 12:53 PM EST

I'm not sure if I'm the only one that noticed this, but Lex Hilliard can play.

On his first run, it was like 3rd and 15 and I beleive it was for 18 yds, but it was called back with a holding penalty, so we decided to run him again. He had anoher big run to convert for the first down. And thats not all.

He had another about 15 yard carry on another 3rd down that we had to convert. And even though he only broke for those three big runs (which only 2 were counted), his two other runs were pretty much him avoiding a stuff, breaking a couple tackles, and gaining 3 or 4 yards.

Don't forget, he also has come up with some nice tackles on special teams this season.

I like the way this guy plays, in the preseason, he did fumble a couple of times, but he also broke afew big runs. And he is pretty fast for his size. I think Lexy has a lot of potential.

I noticed in the preseason

He was a beast

"Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak." Thomas Carlyle

Sparano yelled to the next receiver, imploring him to, "go get the (expletive) football."

T-LEX

Dude is a BEAST! I noticed in the pre season he was a animal but you always wonder what a real game will be like, so far I think he has answered some questions and I look forward to seeing him in the future.

Lex was a beast in college and has done nothing to change his bowling ball mentality..!

What up 6 took me a minute to get it! Unfortunately I never saw him in college but I am way stoked on his play thus far. With ricky getting long in the tooth it’s good to see young blood at the running back position.

He played at Montana which is division 1-AA so the competition isnt great but man he flat out dominated
