I agree about the bolded but that's not enough to keep him in my eyes.

Plus, think about how much that has to piss off the rest of the offense doing all the work in getting the ball down inside the 10 and then having Hill vulture it and dance like he did all the work.

If group celebrations were still allowed, it might not piss me and the team off as much, but his celebrations don't get me excited, they're just played out and annoy me.

And don't get me wrong because I love celebrations, but his just make me say "what the hell are you gloating about."

He didn't do much besides run downhill.  Anyone with any size could have done it, and Mixon's about the same size.  He didn't run anyone over or make any spectacular moves or do much that was even noteworthy besides for score.  He was often untouched.

Sometimes, he might take a hit, but normally it was from the side and his momentum just carried him into the endzone, which anyone can do that.

But Marvin doesn't normally talk-up rookies or even give them much PT, which is another reason why I think Hill's time is running short.

I also think that they might do it as a way to please the fans because I know I'm still pissed at him for the fumble and his dancing when he runs in from one yard like he just won the Super Bowl by himself makes me sick to my stomach.

Don't get me wrong because I love celebrations, but he's wearing thin on me.

If Mixon tears-it-up in the preseason, I can see Hill being cut.
