Most likely didn't mention Hill because there are no questions (injury/rookie) surrounding him. Most likely why he did not mention LaFell or Boyd,

Josh Topou is a d-lineman, a 350lb block eating wall. I'd love to see him make the team as Billings back-up.

Hill is the question. Mixon is already showing just what i thought. He is way beyond Hill already.

Gio and Mixon look great. No reason to talk about the meh Hill.

Got down to 335, might be able to take that spot from Glasgow yah never know.

We all know that Topou is a great run stopper, just would like to see a touch of a pass rush from the big man.

Sounds like a better Peko to me, one trick pony which is why i am hoping either Topou or Glasgow show more than just stopping the run.

Exactly, call him 0 yard Hill from now on...

He'll have the most Tds by rbs this year . I expect a bounce back .

He is good at getting into the endzone, i will give him that.

Too bad he doesn't run like that on the rest of the field.

Hill is going to get a schooling from Mixon on the way it should be done.

Meh .... I don't see it this year .

Jeremeh

I'm critical of the staff not putting the best players on the field. Mixon is the future . I just don't see it this year

I say we call him V6.  Cuz he's rolling in his 3.0

This is just not true. In 3 years Jeremy Hill has averaged 1075 yards from scrimmage per year. He has carried at over 4 YPC and averaged 10 TDs per year. He was vilified for the fumble in the '15 playoff game (fighting for yards), so what does he do? He practices carrying a 3lb ball so the gameball will feel "like an egg". The result: 241 touches in 2016 and not once did he put the ball on the ground.

Folks need to stop questioning Hill just because they like Mixon. Mixon has proved absolutely nothing in the NFL, while Hill has proven to be a productive rusher with a nose for the endzone.

Whatever Bfine, Hill has fell off a cliff since his rookie season while trying to be a scatback.

I loved Hill then, i was wanting him to get more snaps after that, but when a player falls off, i call them out.

He is good at getting in the Endzone when he has his mindset right. Go down Hill.

Pretty funny. I've just been calling him Nil Hill or Zil Hill.

The better player will win out, eventually. I say eventually because that's not always the immediate case with Marvin.

They did not draft this guy to sit on the bench.  He will play from day one.

I am hopeful in your line of work you always progress and never regress too.

I just don't understand why fans don't root for every player to be successful. If the rookie Mixon is better so be it, but hope he is better than a very good Hill than a very bad Hill because on the bad side being better than not good is not necessarily good or great at all.

I want all of our guys to improve year by year, if they get beat out it just means we are better than the year before.

Thats true, but Boyd started at Slot last year as a rookie. Mixon is the better player.

Exactly.
