16 carries for 86 yards
His long carry was only 15 yards, but he averaged 5.1 ypc. He also had a nice run after a catch for 14 yards and a first down.
I don't mean to say that he is 100% back to what he was late last season, but I saw some things I really liked:
- He looked decisive
- He rarely went down from first contact
- He got "dinged", but kept coming back
Special mention has to go to one of the unsung heroes of this team, Ryan Hewitt. He is an outstanding blocker, but also showed his versatility again with two catches for 29 yards. He is one of the biggest bargains in the NFL. An UDFA, he is a true "nuts and bolts" guy that helps this machine work.
Also the offensive line needs credit for opening holes and keeping Andy clean all day. I think the full week between games and getting back on that schedule is huge. Great job!
Nice thread, i just watched the game and saw the same thing. Hill looked like his old self from last season.
Loved his vision, cuts and burst that were so common late last season. I know he did not work any less so i always
believed it was all mental. We have yet to see both Hill and Gio at the top of their game at the same time, could get
a little crazy if the O-line is opening up nice holes like they were against the Rams.
These 2 could definately be the toughest duo to stop in the NFL.
Edit: Oh yeah, spot on with Hewitt awesome player for the best bargain, UDFA. Same with Burfict of course.
