Hitch and Go is the proper term thanks -wasn't thinking. It's very difficult for Geno to decipher in the end where he wants to go with the ball ... he wants to go inside AGAIN but goes right back to the outside (5+ yards after the hitch). Why does Steven Hill try and grab onto the CB's jersey 10+ yards down the field? That's not helping him gain separation. If I am Geno, I am wondering where this guy is going.
No worries, I remember him being a dangerous KO return man and a useful CB. He had that big KO return to set up the Jets' winning TD against the Giants in '88, one of my favourite moments as a Jets fan!
So, how long would this idea take to implement, let alone, last? It's absurd to even think this because it's not the right time, 1 game before the season starts....lets close this thread.
I think it's more likely that Idzik put out feelers for interest in Hill, didn't actually actively try to trade him. And some intern on one of the teams that got a feeler needed beer money and got it in the form of Schefter's Anonymous Source Slush Fund.
He likely does have the movement skills & you gotta love that size. But he doesn't have the defender's mentality Rex looks for, he lacks toughness & I highly doubt he can tackle. He'd be great for those Anti-hail mary extra deep prevent situations.But that's about it
I said this the last time someone suggested this on here and I'll say it the next time too. Hill sucks at running routes when he knows what they are, imagine if he tried to mirror them not knowing? He'd likely fall over a lot. Seriously.
I'd prefer to see him as a rush OLB. Kind of like Maybin, only skinnier. What about QB? He's got prototypical size. Has anybody seen him throw stuff?
