I feel like Hills the type of guy you have to hold out on judgement until the first full game where the starters play all game. He's the type of guy you randomly toss one down field to while the defense is busy trying to make in game adjustments against our main offense play makers. Not a main weapon but a weapon for sure.
Based on his career? I agree. Yesterday? Not so much. I thought he looked fluid yesterday. Hopefully, yesterday is a sign of more to come.
http://m.nydailynews.com/sports/foo...ipping-jets-wr-stephen-hill-article-1.1909805 Michael Irvin and Cris carter discuss Stephen hill “It’s a ‘right-now’ football league,” Carter said. “He’s a fast player that doesn’t play fast. So how long will that take to develop?”
Good input from everyone except Manish. The way he tries to twist peoples words to his own agenda is almost comical at this point.
You should contact Chris Carter and let him know that if he doesn't have anything nice to say about Stephen Hill he should shut up.
"Hill has one reception for 17 yards on 37 pass routes in the preseason, according to Pro Football Focus. He’s been targeted only twice (plus one that was negated due to a defensive penalty) despite playing 70 snaps in the first two preseason games, a ridiculous reality that raises the obvious question: Is Hill simply not getting open?" -Hill is in regular season form.
I think he's still trying to get his timing with Geno down. I don't think it's that he doesn't get open, he gets open at the wrong times.
I'm in that position, like many others, of "show me, don't tell me" for Stephen Hill right now. He hasn't shown that he can stay healthy, lacks ball skills, and rarely uses his body effectively. Yes I hope he succeeds this year with the Jets, but I honestly don't think he's going to have a third year jump like some are predicting.
Not a huge fan of Hill don't think he will ever be anything special but to be fair our 1st offense hasn't looked good at all when going vs the othe teams 1st defense/
And for every Demaryius Thomas there's a David Terrell (6'4", 4.43 speed), Ashley Lelie (6'3", 4.27 fast track speed), Reggie Williams (6'4", 4.45 speed), and even Troy Williamson (6'1", 4.32 speed). Measurables don't always turn into good receivers or else every 4.3 guy would be killing it.
Hopefully its a Georgia Tech thing...I never understood why we drafted hill. Like yeah lets draft a WR from a school where they run the fucking triple option...our front office I swear
I'm actually shocked that they talked about Hill at all. He hasn't exactly grazed the radar in terms of mainstream NFL receivers.
Also Eric Decker. Hmmmm, what could have happened between 2010 and 2012 to change their fortunes? Hmmmm.
The question wasn't "improved", it was "broke through". Kind of like breaking through the wet paper bag that is playing better with Peyton than you do with Tebow. But yeah, it was obvious they had improved.
