RR not ruling out calling up Hill

We're in the playoffs...1/4 of the way through actually. No projects please.

Then again maybe he's another great talent we've had on the bench....a lot of that this year

This may have already been addressed but I honestly don't know... Can hill return punts? I know he drops a lot of passes but is he trustworthy to catch punts? Because he is dangerous with the ball in his hands. And I can't imagine anyone doing a worse job than Bersin did last week.

I still don't see how Bersin gets a jersey over Hill.... is he that bad?

My brother a Card fan laughed his ass off when he saw Bersin and he told me, "you have a blonde girl returning punts?"

There has to be another reason Hill isn't on the roster other than his drops.

Our entire wide receiving corp has struggled with drops, so I refuse to believe that is the primary reason for his sustained position on the practice squad.

Is Hill running the wrong routes in practice, is he a bad blocker, does he not understand the playbook, is there no chemistry with him and Cam?

I haven't the slightest idea, but I refuse to believe that drops are keeping him off the active roster after what we've seen from our wide outs this year.

I dunno. Catching the ball is kinda important as a WR.

He can catch the ball.

He doesn't catch every pass but neither does Benjamin so I really fail to see the point.

It would be one thing if he literally couldn't catch the ball (maybe if he didn't have hands), but due to the fact that he has caught 45 passes before I do in fact believe that this man can catch.

I don't think that most people realize that Stephen Hill was a productive starter in the NFL. He isn't just some undrafted kid like Bersin.

[AceBoogie]

And I don't trust this staff anyway. They're known for keeping talent on the bench.

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

I think a lot of reservation is due to lack of chemistry. But as far as pure atheletic ability at the WR position, Hill > any receiver on our roster not named Kelvin

Did you ask him why AZ called up a local JuCo QB to play?

[rayzor]

I personally would love to see Hill get called up and see limited snaps.

thanks for the thread and welcome to the huddle. just a word of advice, don't quote articles without a link to the source and don't quote whole articles. same for everyone. this site can catch a lot of legal poo for it and do deter that we smite offenders with the holy ban hammer. i'm not going to swing it, but i would like at least the link put in the opening post with the quote.

thanks

I would imagine the answer is NO.

 

Last thing you want to put out there returning punts is a WR who has drop issues.

On topic, I think Hill is way overrated but no denying that the offense has been better with Philly on the field. I'm not a fan but if the staff brought him up I assume it would be for a purpose and would be willing to see how it shook out. I think the problem is that limited snaps don't really help, as the defense would just know what was coming.

Running route decoys in a convincing fashion and blocking for other teammates who are carrying the ball is grunt work but its what WRs spend most of their time on the field doing.........when they are not catching and/or running with the ball they are in some respect high priced linemen...........

 

Some WRs struggling in learning to be productive with this grunt work............from either learning the system an offense deploys........or developing the skill sets of that role...............or in some cases managing the emotions of spending so much time not being able to make a direct contribution for what they have dedicated to conditioning and practiced their whole lives but do so little of........
