AP: Fumbled in games with 25, 12, 30, and 11 carries. (4 total)
Hill: fumbled in games with 12, 27, 25, and 22 carries (5 total)
Didn't look like AP had intense loads in all the games he fumbled in. The chances of Hill fumbling twice in only 10 carries again are very slim. The last time he fumbled twice in a game was last season vs. CLE with 25 carries in week 14. (BTW AP's sophomore season he had 3 games with two fumbles on: 25, 22, and 22 carries).
Hill is a smart player. He realizes this is an issue that needs to be fixed and isn't backing away from it.
Please stop comparing AP to Hill. AP is a future HOF'r. Hill, while a good back, is too immature and it shows with all of these fumbles. In his 2nd year, he has more fumbles than just about everyone on the team (Tate?). If he knew how to hold on to the ball he'd be a top 5. Fact is defenses know he has ball control issues and they are focusing on stripping the ball, it's very plain to see.
