Lou couldnt cut it.
So much is wrong with this statement. You dont like Lou so you blame him for Hill not being able to cut it at safety. The reality is Hill just couldnt get the job done. Anybody that watched the Bengals play could clearly see Hill was bad at safety.
When talking about Bates 4th season, Bates was regarded as one of the top safeties in the NFL at that point. That is why he was franchise tagged for his 5th season. Bates was an All Pro by his 3rd season when Lou was the DC at that point so obviously Lou wasnt the problem.
