Even though he got here last year, he seems to have bought into the team's history. So he's ready to help the team, fans, and city get over the hump. We could see an angry Hill punish defenses this year, and that's a pleasant image.
On the other hand, what happens if we don't get it this year? Now or never? That makes it sound like this team is going to implode if they make it. We could see plenty of guys move on to new teams in an attempt to get over the hump, that we can't.
Hill's saying that we will get over the hump this year without a doubt.
We would have last year if we hadn't been riddled with injuries, especially him. If we didn't for some reason, we'ed just come back more hungry next year, but we will win at least one playoff game.
You've gotta have that urgency and emotion in your mind and in your play, which is something that this team has lacked for a long time. Hill is finally bringing it to the backfield to match what AJ brings on the outside, Andy brings from the QB position, and guys like Geno, Burfict, Dre, DD, Dunlap, and whoever else will bring on defense.
Our team needs a swagger and Hill will give it to us because nothing fires up a team like seeing a running back running downhill for chunks of yards and the defense not being able to do a damn thing to stop it!
