I have a hard time defending Hill anymore.
I mean on the one hand he's been behind a truly awful line and blocking scheme. But on the other Burkhead is getting better average from same line. And I'm sure Hill's problems aren't limited to bad blocking.
Then there's the playcalling, Hill is a downhill runner period ! The runs out of the shotgun and pitch plays to the outside are not plays to his strength.
Having said all of that, some of Hills problems are self inflicted. He's got this notion that he's a scat back and can dance and wait on blocks. He lacks the agility and quickness to run with this style. There again the lack of coaching comes in.
In the end I'm now of the opinion that we can upgrade from Hill fairly easily. But with all this teams problems I doubt they're going to release Hill.
Pray we get new coaching staff.
