    I'll say it again, Polk isn't making this team if they're carrying 4 RBs. Blue, Grimes, and Hilliard are your guys while Foster is down. I'm starting to like Hilliard more than Blue and about as much as Grimes. Dudes a gamer.

    He's a hard nosed runner, doesn't make too many people miss, but goes North-South.

    You can see all of the defensive players running immediately to the outside for the James run. lol. He's going to have to run more than sweeps.

    He'll have to be mixed in. I think they're just seeing how he handles carrying the ball before fully mixing him in.

    I want to see him play the role we've thought someone like Bonner would play.

    He'd be a hell of a distraction though.

    Like I said, I want to see him with the ball more. Bubble screens, tosses, jet sweeps, etc.

    Could be a good, extra weapon to have. I want to see him play against a legit defense first, though. Shrewd move by O'Brien.

    Totally agree. If the offense doesn't move with Hoyer or Mallett this season, Savage will be the starter.

    Watching this dude succeed just makes me happy. Feel like its impossible he doesn't make the team for special teams at this point. If he gets cut it will be one of the most depressing moments of hard knocks history.
