Why no Dax Hill?

The reality is Hill will have to find another spot to play at this season or wait until a potential Bates injury to see more playing time.

You're right, and that's why Bates never should have been FT'd in the first place.

Several people said there was no reason to believe we wouldn't be getting '21 regular season Bates, and they're being proven correct over the first couple of games of the season.  

What makes it even worse is even though it was only preseason, Hill looked a helluva lot closer to a true elite S like Fitzpatrick than Bates does.  

As good as Hill looked, we have to find a role for the guy.  I know I suggested during preseason that they should try using Vonn Bell as a nickel LB on 3rd downs/2 minute drill and line up Dax at S opposite Bates.
