I've thought this too. I'm not a big fan of handing it off in the shotgun. At least have him split a bit wider and get a run and do a slant blocking scheme so he can have some momentum going into the line or something.
He was at his best in the I formation and a lead blocker (Hewitt). I really think we should be in a 2 WR, TE, FB, HB set more often. Getting Hill going on this offense would make it unbelievable.
On a side note, Gio is a better back from the shotgun as he gets up to speed quicker and he has the ability to slide through small openings in the line. He seems to run better without a lead blocker and he's really stepped it up in blitz pickup.
To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
