Not only will Hill be the starter, he will DOMINATE this year.

Give it up on Mixon being, "the man," for this year; only way that happens is if Hill gets a season-ending injury.

What makes you think that Hill will suddenly DOMINATE when he has been garbage the past few years?

I admit that he has looked better than previous years, but he still doesn't look like anything too special.  He has looked average, while Mixon is already looking like he has the potential to be a superstar.

I agree that he has looked better, but still isn't hitting the holes at full speed and just running downhill and all over people.  He still looks like he tip-toes too much for my liking.

Maybe he's starting to get his confidence back.

He popped outta there and if Og would have followed thru on his block Hill might a popped it big ? So he's not gonna fall down on 1st contact this season ? Sweet

Anyways it made me start having a little hope for him ! Perhaps the light has finally come on ? Fingers crossed because I could care less whether Hill, Mixon or Gio light it up this season. I hope all three do ! I just want the Bengals to win

I wouldn't mind seeing a two back set on occasion as a change of pace. Hill and Mixon in the backfield, AJ, and Ross wide, Eifert at TE. Defense says oh $h!t we have to cover the whole field.

Not sure I remember the play, but Hill shouldn't have even run into the wall.  Backs have to hit the hole, but they also have to have vision to change directions and go to where there's an opening.

I don't care which one is doing it big, either, but I just fear Marvin's loyalty will keep giving Hill opportunities when he's clearly not the best back for this team and it will cost us drives and games.
