Before he went out, Marvin and Hue, along with the damn water boy, should have been in his ear saying "wrap up with two arms, We don't give a shit if you don't gain a single yard, just DON'T fumble."
And then even McCarron in the huddle should have been preaching it.
Why didn't they work on it in practice?
Like I said, it should have been common sense, but, when a guy has a fumblin problem, it's obviously not.
Hill admitted that he had an issue and it needed to get fixed when interviewed back in September.

Perhaps the coaches and team felt ball security was a no-brainer, especially if Hill worked on fumbling issues during the regular season already.
At some point, you have to trust that people on your team know what to do.
Responsibility should fall on Hill, he's admitted he made a mistake, and it's time to move on.
