Bengals are leaving points up on the board, Oakland game could have been 48, Ravens game we left 2 TDs out there (AJ int and Eifert kicked ball).

It's a shame Hill is a fumbler, if you wanted to go old-school go up by 10 or 14 points and run the clock out, we should be able to. Sometimes the only way to beat Brady and Rodgers is to just keep the ball out of their hands.

He did it last year and in preseason (and even a bit in the first game), and it's not like he's old or anything.  His abilities make me know that.

And defenses have the exact same run fits if we are in shotgun or under center.  There is difference in their ability to "react and get in position".

But from the shotgun he has to wait to get the ball or, at most, has a step going forward (usually to the side, though) and doesn't have momentum going with him.  

If Dalton's under center, then Hill can start running downhill from the time the ball is snapped, whereas he has to wait for Dalton to turn to hand him the ball if he's in shotgun, or even if he runs in front of Dalton, he's still not going as fast and he's not going downhill.  

Also, Hill getting the ball that far back lets the defense decide if he has the ball longer before committing to the run.

Hill has at least a step or two head-start when he lines up behind Dalton with Dalton under center, meaning that (a) he's going faster when he gets the ball and (b) the defense has a lot less time to decide on whether or not to commit.
