This is exactly what I had hoped for...

You even touched on the point about them being such good receivers out of the backfield.  I will add that these three had similar versatility and the playbook is not paper-clipped open to just a few select pages when either of them is on the field.  I don't mean to dump everything at the feet of Hill, but his mere presence tips teams off as to what is coming.  Peerman I hardly even think of as a RB, just a special teams guy, albeit a good one.
