Not to mention, Many of us have higher expectations for Hill from what we saw in his rookie season. Having a strong running game is vital to playoff success or success in this league. Look at Seattle, Green Bay, Arizona, Denver and even New England has a somewhat running game.
We absolutely NEED to be able to run the ball, whether it's the O-line's fault or the RB's... We NEED to fix it.
Skewed by 1 good game.
He played in 13 games. In the 4 losses he played in, he averaged 3.6 YPC. In the 8 wins he played in, he averaged 3.6 YPC. In the tie against Carolina, he averaged 7.6 YPC.
The dude just wasn't very good last year overall, just as Jeremy hasn't been very good this year overall.
We didn't throw Gio out to pasture after last year, nor should we have even fathomed the idea.
The same needs to go for Hill.
