Dude played a heck of a game. Explosive, quick feet, acceleration. However, with that being said, should we bring in Williams or Gibson in for pass protect? Hill’s only negative I saw last game was the fact he kept getting beat on pass protection, and that’s putting it mildly. It may not be a big deal now but against better teams it could get Fitz hurt.

Just reading between the lines

nothing else to hang my hat on...

Several players have not really picked up everything required in the new offense.

Gotta know whose on first, etc.

May be completely wrong on this....

1) One of the reasons he is playing as much as he is is because he is such a huge receiving threat out of the backfield.

2) If you always sub him out for pass protection, then the defense will always know when we are going to pass.

He is still just a true true sophomore in a new system. I’m sure he will be fine in a few more games. We have until Auburn before it might affect an outcome.

I think with Hill, it’s a mentality thing in pass pro. He’s needs to get a better mind set. He got flat run over by somebody against KSU.

You get it. Kylin will be fine. He's still learning and he's not terrible at pass pro. He's going to keep getting better. And you don't sit a stud because he's slightly below average in one phase of the game. That's what Merlinz did. When you've got a thoroughbred, you run him.

I agree you don't sit him, but he's way below avg in pass protection. He was flat out pathetic... he was a freaking beast with the ball in his hands though. Maybe you just swing em out and make him the hot read

With the way he’s approached the off season and his mindset, I’ll be willing to bet he figures it out. Plus Huff is a great RB coach.

I’m glad someone else noticed this... Hill got trucked by LBs multiple times last Saturday.

Watch the replay of the game. Their DE were off sides almost every play. Hard to block a guy who is on top of you before you even gotten out of your stance.

If he's getting trucked by a LB, that's good - at least he's picking up the right guy. The bigger problem would be if he is lost on who to pick up.

We can offset this my moving Fitz out of the pocket to throw. He's better that way anyway. Not sure how that works with the RPO game.
