He still cant catch like Coleman or Free. Doesnt have Free's elite vision. That's why he will never replace Free imo. He is solid depth behind our two main guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Hill was brought to give the Falcons a go to option in short yardage and goal line situations. So again, this pick has nothing to do with Freeman and Coleman and everything to do with getting a bigger 3rd back to replace Ward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The nice thing is for him is if he ever gets meaningful snaps he will be out there with alot of talent on the outside so he will not have the 8 or 9 in the box to contend with Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of teams carry five. No FB this year, a TE will fill that role. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He doesnt have Free's elite vision or quickness Yes he is insurance, and we arent blowing a 1st or 2nd rnd pick on a rb regardless ffs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

After Coleman and Freeman do the work for 3 quarters, give someone else the ball to grind out until the end. You know I wish he had the name Hillman. It would fit better.

From the little bit I've watched on him so far, he also looks to be much more of a polished and willing blocker than the average college RB. He's not flashy and hands are a question mark, but these are the things you look for in a backup RB. yuuup - so happy with this draft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
