I can't imagine he's lost that much speed in a year so it has to be his decision-making - he appears to dance around behind the line of scrimmage and not as decisive. Maybe he's been watch tape of LeVeon Bell?
It's not only the dancing and juking behind the line of scrimmage.
It's the going down on simple shoestring tackles.
Last game Hill had Whitworth out front ready to block downfield for what surely would have been a huge gain.
It was a perfect scenario for any RB.
Sadly Hill gets tripped up by one hand from a defender on the ground.
Like others I loved me some JH when we drafted him.
Mostly because I wanted to see BJGE gone or at least diminished role on the team.
That being said... Jeremy better get back to form or he'll be seeing the pine much more.
As of now the dude just looks average at best.
Did any of you guys see Gio look over to the sidelines when he busted a nice run up the gut?
It appeared to look like "Hey JH look at me!".
I know it's probably a good competition between teammates... but you just know it's gotta be eatin' at Hill that Gio is successful hitting the hole fast between the tackles.
Hopefully the coaches can get into his head and discipline his vision/technique to be the RB he can still be.
