Hill has been fine, he got banged up a few weeks ago but hasn't showed signs that his injury is bothering him. Hill and Burkhead splitting reps isn't that much different than Hill and Gio. Burkhead is just as effective at catching passes out of the backfield, hes just cant hurt you as much in space like Gio would. Cedric Peerman is a dud at being an actual running back. Jackson getting valuable reps at corner would have been the better choice.
Except that Hill and Burkhead splitting reps is not the same as Hill and Bernard splitting reps, because if Hill/ Bernard splitting reps leaves on of them hurt, which it did, we still had another running back in Burkhead. If we put Peerman on IR and one of Hill/Burkhead got hurt, we have no other reserve running back. It's a numbers game, and it's the smart move. Jackson would not play, he has no NFL snaps and they are not going to play him over Dennard or Smith anyway just to get him reps....
