He did so with so many injuries allowing defenses to stack the box against him. Explain how a defense will cover the likes of AJ, Eifert, Kroft, Sanu, Jones, etc., when they have to load the box to stop Hill. It will make Andy's life very easy, and most likely playing teams in Cincinnati or north of Cincinnati in the playoffs will play to our advantage because it will be cold in the playoffs here and I'll take Hill blow for blow over any back in the AFC.
Andy will just have to play catch with the receivers.
If we just stick to giving Hill the rock and stay healthy, then I'd give us pretty good odds.
Agree with this. And you didn't even mention Gio. Not too many teams has a backup who is that talented.
