Watch Peyton Hillis Limp
August 9th, 2013Joe knows legions of Bucs fans are like Greg Schiano; they like to see, feel, hear and taste every last Buccaneer detail. So with the spirit of the crazies in mind, Joe brings you this video from Bucs beat woman Jenna Laine, who captured Peyton Hillis coming off the field after the Bucs-Crows game last night.
Hillis ran hard but ended up with knee injury. It’s “hyperextended,” so Laine Twittered this morning.

Peyton Hillis….buh bye!
August 9th, 2013 at 1:32 pm
One of the NFL Network analyst whose name escapes me at the moment says it is not serious. Now how he knows, I have no idea. But let’s hope that he’s right! Rick Stroud says that it is not believed to be season-ending, whatever that means.
August 9th, 2013 at 1:33 pm
I want to see him make the club, why would you wish him gone (B-87)? He’s a hard nose runner that’s not afraid of contact, that’s what Buc fans love, real ones anyway.
August 9th, 2013 at 1:49 pm
I thought he did great. He and Leonard was great with those horrible blocking.
August 9th, 2013 at 1:50 pm
@buvfever40….Exactly!
Come on 1987, you seem to be an avid “post a lot”…so be an avid fan who doesnt kick an injured Man, A BUCCANEER when he’s down….you feel me?
August 9th, 2013 at 1:55 pm
Think its a good sign that he is walking on it. The only persons that understandingly may root for an injury to adversly affect a player’s chances are those who are competing for the job.
Even then, most competitve players would rather win the job outright on their on merits.
August 9th, 2013 at 1:56 pm
@bucfever40… I don’t want him gone at all, but I live in Realityville. MY Bucs look to be pretty deep at RB. Hillis has always been a big question mark. If the injury is even minor, it will only add to the likely-hood that it’s buh bye pretty soon.
Realityville : like how much will he be able to practice and or play in pre-season?
“that’s what Buc fans love, real ones anyway.”
I hope that was not a reference to me, dem fightin’ words as far as I’m concerned.
August 9th, 2013 at 2:00 pm
Holy crap everyone’s on the Peyton Hillis bandwagon now? Told you all a while back that I’m a realist.
@Tampabaybucfan …you call that walking on it. I call that barely walking.
August 9th, 2013 at 2:07 pm
If it is a hyper extended knee. I suggest you take a minute or two to look at what that means for a guy trying to show what he’s got and made of or prove himself worthy to the team

@ 1987
OK….barely walking, but walking nonetheless….as versus, crawling, riding etc.
I hope Hillis makes the team because that would mean we probably have a Kick Returner in Michael Smith and have found a Punt Returner among our WR corps….and Glennon is playing well enough to keep us from 3QBs on the roster.
Otherwise….he probably won’t make it.
August 9th, 2013 at 2:12 pm
@ Buc 1987
Realityville?….that’s not to be confused with Buc Realist is it?
August 9th, 2013 at 2:12 pm
I wasn’t really impressed by Hillis and his fumble and 3.3 yards per rush ave. But there is time left in the preseason for him to earn a spot if he does better.
Brian Leonard did impress me.
August 9th, 2013 at 2:13 pm
Buc Realist probably blames Dominick for signing a player that hurt is knee in the first preseason game……That “terrible pop star”….
August 9th, 2013 at 2:21 pm
I thought Hillis looked like a manbeast on his runs. ran with power.
if anything is by by captain inactive. Hillis looked better than James by far, but he’ll probably make it since he was just drafted. I just hope he can get back by the last preseason game. I liked what I saw.
August 9th, 2013 at 2:22 pm
Tampabaybucfan…ha ha ha ha Buc Realist lives in Dementedville.
August 9th, 2013 at 2:23 pm
and I looked @ the hit a couple times. looked more like a bruise kind of hit than an awkward tear your acl type.
that being said he was wrapped and has a HUGE limp. Hell I had a FULL acl tear and did not limp that bad.
a bruise or hyperextension may take more than a couple weeks, but I hope not!!!
August 9th, 2013 at 2:25 pm
You guys know what I’m sayng though. If he can’t play or practice, how do they evaluate him? He is a well known fumble machine too that being one of the question marks when they signed him.
August 9th, 2013 at 2:26 pm
@ Buc 1987
Where is “the realist” today?…..maybe getting therapy….or out shopping for a new dress?
August 9th, 2013 at 2:37 pm
^^^LOL
August 9th, 2013 at 2:48 pm
I want to this guy to make the club as well!
August 9th, 2013 at 3:13 pm
If he can’t practice then I would agree that he probably wont make the team. But from what I’ve read and heard its only a bruise and shouldnt keep him gone for an extended period. I think he was far more impressive than Smith and probably James to. If he isn’t gone for to long I think he is our #3 back.
August 9th, 2013 at 3:17 pm
James looked slow and useless.
Hillis looked like a badass before getting tackled low twice!
I really thought he looked like an NFL RB.
I hope we keep him and he comes back strong.
Its a long season. And nobody knows what our team will look like by week 10.
I liked seeing Hillis in a Bucs uniform.
He was fast and big!
August 9th, 2013 at 3:26 pm
I hope he’s ok. Between him Bernard and Martin we could have one of the scariest backfields in the league. Hillis was running HARD!!!!!
August 9th, 2013 at 3:39 pm
Hillis was not really a question mark, I called he would have a great shot to make the team and I still stand by that statement.
He makes the roster if the injury isn’t too severe.
August 9th, 2013 at 3:40 pm
And James is hardly slow or useless
August 9th, 2013 at 3:42 pm
Agree with PR. he makes the team if the injury is not too severe. The but to my statement is that I think the injury is severe. If its hyper-extended then the likelihood of him practicing and being back before the end of preseason is small. This didnt look like a man walking with just a bruise.
August 9th, 2013 at 3:46 pm
Jenna Laine sent an update saying the knee is hyper-extended but isn’t expected to miss significant time. I don’t see Hillis making the roster. He already has an injury history and this could be more serious than not missing significant time. I hope I’m wrong. He really was running like a man ready to make an impact.
August 9th, 2013 at 5:18 pm
By far, the most disappointing thing about the game was realizing there were two players with the number 33 on the Bucs. Noticed it after the Hillis injury.
August 9th, 2013 at 6:20 pm
Good thing Brian Leonard look decent!
August 9th, 2013 at 6:22 pm

“I thought Hillis looked like a manbeast on his runs. ran with power.”
The biggest problem with Hillis is his fumbling and injuries.
August 9th, 2013 at 6:44 pm
Please keep HILLIS!!! He is a goal line monster.
August 9th, 2013 at 7:40 pm
I HATE when defenders throw shoulders into the knee areas of course it will hyper-extend… the defender should get fined… that could end a career!!! Hillis did look strong and I hope we keep him.
August 9th, 2013 at 9:38 pm
Watching the Patriots/Eagles game and I have to give Blount props “LOVE that guy I really hate we got rid of him”….. I wish him well and from the looks of things he’ll be fine 2 td’s already … And Tebow good job too.
August 9th, 2013 at 9:48 pm
Blount 9 carries 96 yards 2 tds
August 9th, 2013 at 11:20 pm
I liked Blount. Seems he’s doing well. Though I was working and could watch the game, I assume he was playing against third-stringers?
August 9th, 2013 at 11:21 pm
“Ccould NOT watch the game”
August 10th, 2013 at 7:05 am
He played in the first half
August 10th, 2013 at 11:05 am
Blount took a handoff on the second play of the game.

@B-87-I’m not saying you’re not a “real” Buc fan, but you sure seem quick to usher Hillis’ his pink slip (buh bye), sounds to me you feel it’s a done deal. I don’t care if you feel he has fumble issues, hell, Mike Alstott turned that stigma around in just one season, and Shiano seems to be a coach that stresses ball security, Martin only had one last year, and it was questionable after breaking the goal line (should’ve been a TD). I don’t even think Hillis fumbled after that low hit, the ground can’t cause a fumble, which is what happened. I think the coaches like his style, he has lot to prove and has the talent to do so, when Hillis is “on”, he is a treat to watch and a nightmare to tackle, a poor man’s A-Train I’ll take any day! Buc fan’s will ALWAYS appreciate a RB who strives to get extra yards. Will he make the team? Depends on how quick he comes back from the injury, but EVERY Buc fan should want him to make the team, which will give us mad depth at RB and prolong the career of our rookie sensation from a year ago…….Doug Martin!
PS-Don’t misinterpret the poor man’s A-Train comment, even at his best, he’s no where close to #40 and his 70+ td’s!
August 10th, 2013 at 5:54 pm
Mike James, was able to pick up the blitz’s that were coming on almost every play, that is what the coach’s were looking at. No one is talking about the special teams or the special team coach. A lot of the mistakes on the special teams were coaching mistakes. Special teams can make you or break your team.
