Why no Dax Hill?

This is beyond dumb. Bates is gone next year and Bell is a FA. Dax needs to play. I wouldn’t think I’d have to explain this to a NFL coach.

Lou has seen both of these players get hundreds of reps in practice.  He knows much more about their ability than any of us.  And Lou's entire reputation as a coach depends on how his players perform on the field.  So there is no way in hell that he would intentionally keep a guy on the bench who is better than a guy playing.

For the record I'm not sold on Lou at all yet either, but almost all the other teams play their starting CBs pretty close to 100% of the snaps.  D-linemen are the ones who need to rotate to keep fresh, and LBs will rotate in and out based on pass coverage skills, but DBs usually play 100% of the snaps.
