Is it Christina Aguilera?

I suppose I am one of the few that liked McClain. He brought some positive mojo during the winning streak.... although it ruined our Suck-4-Luck campaign.

McClain was only good on Twitter.

Be interesting to see if he runs over anybody on the way out of town.

Or if we don't get Tolbert then I would guess Pioli has his eye on a kid in the draft. Who? I don't know. Maybe some of you college guru guys might fill us in on who that might be

Why is everything thinking we'd get another fullback besides Hillis?

It appears that Pioli's preference is for fullbacks who can run the ball, either as a backup RB or as a change of pace guy. McClain has a 1,000 yard season if I remember right, and obviously Hillis has had success running the ball.

I like that approach. I think that having two guys in the backfield who can run the ball makes the defense have to guess more about what's going to happen, especially when you've got a speed merchant like Charles and a big bruiser. They can't just stack the line every time they see Battle in the backfield, or expect a pass every time they see McCluster in the backfield. (Well, I know that McCluster is only used on runs up the middle, but I'm talking theoretically.)

Hillis is only on a one year contract. That may be due to his maturity lapses. That said, I like running fullbacks too. Hillis was on my draft wish list when the effing Donks drafted him.

This pisses me off we should of resigned him. Liked him hes a team guy.

Would love to see a goal line set with Tolbert and Hillis

Once Romeo took over, they gave him the ball more and he basically did nothing. I had a lot of hopes for the guy and he didn't show anything.
