To be even fairer (said the mirror on the wall) they’ve had to something with this line since game 1.

So do we get the rest of this guy's rookie contract? Or do we have to sign him to a new deal? Might not be a bad idea to keep a 5th round pick on a cheap contract.

I understand you completely Harley but with Jeremeh getting injuried for the season kind of had to get one.

Kind of needed a decent Center for about 11 years now though lmao!

"They also saved a little money because they won’t need to print up another nameplate for the depth chart. They announced that they have signed running back Brian Hill off of the Falcons practice squad."

Saved THAT much money eh?

Cheap bastids. Hope this guy is decent cuz this shows a lot if he is just table scraps.

How you going to give a players number away mid season? Hill has disappointed, but I'm stumped on the last time that has happened. Hill deserves better. Even as a bust.

What's funny about it is that some of the "casual" fans likely won't even realize that it's a different player..

Well when he averages 2.8 YPC behind this line, he'll even look like Jeremy Hill.

I laughed when I heard it was another hill. I thought Marvin is determined to start a guy named hill on first series . I got around to watching his highlight video and I do remember him in the draft barely. He looks decent,strong runner and very decisive back,and patient with pretty good burst. The highlight video did mention he was a top back in college. His qb which I do like now,was josh Allen. And they used to stack the box for hill.

All frustration with this season aside, I like this move. Kinda like picking up an extra 5th rounder. He was extremely productive at Wyoming, rushing for 1631 yards as a soph, then 1860 yards last year. Big back (6'1" 220 lbs) with speed (4.54 forty). Doak Award finalist. Doesn't fumble.

Surely they will put a "B" before the Hill on the Jersey - won't they? And don't call me shirley!

On the first goal line TD scored by Tennessee Hardy Nickerson got run over when he should have stuffed Demarco Murray on the 2-yard line.

Hopefully he can stick on the PS but he's not ready for the 53.

Maybe a sign that the Bengals won't bring Jeremy back next season?

He was gone the minute they put him on IR

Pretty impressive video. But then again he will more than likely get no more than 4 touches a game... And behind this o-line

Maybe it will lessen the blow for losing Jake Elliott in the 5th round

I can tell myself we traded Jake for a "new" Hill

It sezzz on the Bengals website he is #23, if you check the roster.

Yeah, there's no way he could've been 32. Maybe next season.

No doubt that our Oline will make him into a super star like they do for every other running back.. 
True lock for rookie of the year with only half a season..

....

Yeah..no..
