    Timing is a little weird for this to go down.

    McNichols made our offense so predictable when he came in on 3rd down. It was the same old screen plays with him and he just wasn't someone you would think would make a play other than getting a 4 yard catch on 3rd and 3. This move is no loss to us whatsoever. I'd rather have Hilliard any day over McNichols.

    As for Wilkins, I've seen him play 2 times and he's actually a decent RB. Hopefully he will get a chance to showcase what he has tomorrow. I'm guessing the coaching staff like what they see out of him.

    I fear this too but he didn’t play all pre season either and had no issues

    I don't like this. Actually against the Cardinals in his first game, although used sparingly, he was underwhelming 17 car/58yds, 3.4 avg. I just hope he's not rusty, in his first action in over 2 months, in the playoff game. At least we have other capable RBs.

    Foreman and Hillard > Peterson and McNichols

    Whether he's rusty or not. It's his presence on the field is what will open up our offense.

    I just don't see how playing tomorrow will knock off the rust when he will take off another 2 weeks before another game.

    Wilkins goes back to the practice squad after tomorrow’s game. Then….Henry back on track.

    Not surprising was actually thinking about this the other day. Foreman wasn’t going anywhere so it was down to McNichols or Hillard, Hillard has shown the ability to catch the ball out did the backfield and has breakaway speed he’s also a far better runner than McNichols.

    Mcnichols getting cut hasn't suprised me. Didn't excel or showed anything this year. Cut for another RB is a bit suprising however they must've seen something in training i suppose.

    Henry should watch this over and over...that should knock some rust off...Henry is going to be fine, he will be highly motivated to hit the ground running and help this team in the playoffs

    He probably has heard that we were done without him..he's watched Taylor take over the rushing lead..he's heard Taylor for MVP talk ..the King is pissed
