gregcook68 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 For me, reading between the lines, I think, consciously or subconsciously, fumbling away the playoff game made him rethink his focus. I think he was convicted by it, putting more emphasis on what jitterbug dance he was going to do, and less emphasis on protecting the football. I like it, and for me it's refreshing to see!! Hoping he stays healthy and has a beastly year!! http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Hill-connects-the-dots/9b03995c-c2a9-48cd-862e-71295ad104f8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishbengal Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 He needs to focus for sure ...a below stellar season and he could be on his way out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 What I want to see most is simultaneous productive years from Hill and Bernard. The last two years they've traded places, one killing it and the other doing nothing. Put it together together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 "Refreshing"? So he's a soft drink, or possibly a light beer, now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 I was thinking Lemonade or sweet tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 "Sweet Tea" Hill. We gotta make that a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 He seems to be on a mission this year - gotta like that. I assume making up for that stupid fumble is eating away at him, and he's handling it the right way. He also looked slow and heavier last year, but seems to have at least some of his 2014 quick-feet back. IF they get the 2nd-half 2014 Hill back, sky's the limit I guess, he was the best RB in the league during that stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 There was a combination of stuff going with Hill individually last season. 1. Hill owns most of it. Tried to bounce too early. Many times he gave a up 3 yards to bounce and lose a yard or gain 1. I think what you saw late last year was him taking what he could then waiting for it to pop. 2. Hue shares in the blame individually for Hill but the credit for overall unit success. Many runs to Hill he was a sacrificial lamb. What Hue did (successfully) was stress the back 7 with shifts and motions. To keep them honest and to stop cheating to pursue to a WR screen or quick throw was to give Hill a bunch of carries with tackles shifting or coming off the LOS from a 2 point stance effectively forcing them to shade a defender and making Hill read the blocks. Hill isn't that type of runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
