Hill needs to work on his ball security. I think everyone agrees with that. But he is not the "fumbling machine" that some people try to claim.
I am more worried about his 3.6 avg than his 3 fumbles, but I don't think he has lost any of the skills that made him so great in 2014.
Exactly where I'm at. Ball security is a minor concern. Production is a major concern. Fwiw, talent-wise I think he falls somewhere between the '14 and '15 seasons.
As in I don't think he's quite as good as we thought after '14, but he's definitely better than he showed in '15.

Yes, he did do something wrong there. It's called you're running out the clock to win a game, PUT TWO F'ING HANDS ON THE BALL. I watched the Broncos game. Toussiant or however you spell it gets the ball punched out, Broncos get it, and go on a short drive to get a TD. Did you notice what happened when the Broncos players got the ball? They put two freaking hands on it.
One job in that situation, protect the ball. If you're not using two hands the entire time, you're most certainly doing something wrong there.
Fair enough. If it were a typical carry he did nothing wrong, but he could've had some situational awareness there. Don't fight for extra yards, cover with both hands, and go down on contact. I'm just saying...it's not like he was haphazardly carrying the ball around like a loaf of bread. But sure, he could've done more to protect the ball.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
