EDIT: This is after being 1.1 YPC better than Hill last year, too. Heck, Gio now has a higher YPC than Hill since Hill came into the NFL.
Hill is the guy that completely out ran Gio in 2014 and he can still do that.
I'm watching a replay of the Skins-Cowboys games at the moment and I see good run blocking, sweeps with two pulling guards and counter plays. I see runs where the OL is getting a push.
With the Bengals I see defenders in the backfield as soon as the hand off occurs. Hill needs a hole to run through. Doesn't need to be big, but it can't be a guy coming through the hole the other direction.
Hill isn't the target. The OL and run blocking scheme are the correct target for what needs to be fixed.
If you wanta talk about "yards per", Hill have higher yards per catch on Sunday. But that doesn't make me want Hill to be the 3rd down RB.
