Why no Dax Hill?

[CJD]

The thing about the 3 safety look is you're often taking Mike Hilton off of the field when you put a 3rd safety on the field, unless you're playing dime which is probably only 3rd downs at this point.

And taking Hilton off of the field is just not a good idea most of the time. Dude is electric.

I think Hill may be closer to a true redshirt season than we may have been hoping for initially, which only strengthens my belief that Bates is gone after this year.
