Since there has been a lot of talk about who the number one running back I thought Klis' thoughts might be of interest to you all.

I like the future at running back with Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman. But this year is about winning the Super Bowl. What is going to happen when these two young guys are worn out physically after 10 games? I like the future at running back with Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman.

I believe the way it will shake out is Ball will be the starter and get 12 to 15 carries a game. Hillman will get his bursts and carry it 5 to 8 times. And Knowshon Moreno, who is still coming back from knee surgery, will be large in passing situations. I still believe this trio has a chance to work well by season's end — even if it's currently a work in progress.
