Exactly, Nate. People are looking at this all wrong. Hill doesn't magically get better because you give him more carries. He gets more carries because he was running well in his first ten or so.

Hill had at least 19 carries in 4 games last season. His YPC in those games were 3.3, 4.5, 1.6, and 3.3... it's not magic. He ran for 2.0 YPC in Week 2. He wouldn't have suddenly broken off 4 20-yard runs once he hit 20 carries. Instead, the offense would have been even worse because it would have to suffer another 9 carries at 2.0 YPC.

The offense already looked terrible starting most of it's drives at 2nd and 8. I would prefer to not exacerbate the problem.
