Because everyone likes fan ideas for the coaches: Hill should play both ways
Our passing game is broken. There are a lot of reasons, but among them is our WRs have been pretty crappy.
Hill looks like the type of athlete that could add an edge to our offense. Just a small role, 5-10 plays. Basically I'd like to see McDoom's targets go to Hill. Might have been the difference vs MSU.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:38 PM ^
If it were that easy the coaches would have done it.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:41 PM ^
Such a simplistic response that shows more faith in the coaching staff than a lot of us have at this point.
October 15th, 2017 at 8:36 PM ^
Are you on crack, bro?
October 15th, 2017 at 1:42 PM ^
Everyone knows that mgoposters are far smarter than our coaching staff
October 15th, 2017 at 3:14 PM ^
And threads like this are the reason the coaches are going to stop reading MGoBlog.
October 15th, 2017 at 8:40 PM ^
Good. Gtfo, coaches! Don’t read here! You’re not allowed! Don’t steal our secret plays that will win you the B1G championship!
October 15th, 2017 at 6:32 PM ^
...I'm confident I could call a better game than whoever called the idiotic RB draw run in the 4th quarter of the MSU game.
October 15th, 2017 at 7:35 PM ^
like the ones that worked against purdue and indiana yesterday?
October 15th, 2017 at 1:42 PM ^
So Hill playing 5-10 snaps on offense instead of McDoom against MSU might have made the difference in the game? Did I read that correctly?
October 15th, 2017 at 1:50 PM ^
McDoom's drop at end of game took a lot of air out of the balloon.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
It sure did. But how about guys like Oliver Martin, Nico Collins or some of the other wr options on the team? Hill is awesome, and I think he could play offense maybe next year, but to say he could have potentially made the difference against sparty is a bit far fetched.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:50 PM ^
Are you trying to say that the 70+ hours a week each person on the coaching staff spends trying to figure out what will give the team the best chance of winning would put them in a better position than mgoposters to determine what is best? Come on man. Everyone knows that people on the internet, most of whom have never played a down of football outside of their backyard, know better than the coaches.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:41 PM ^
He just got started at CB.
Why don't we settle down and let him dominate at that position before we start getting greedy.
October 15th, 2017 at 2:45 PM ^
This is silly. Charles Woodson played offense as a sophomore. Jabrill Peppers wasn't a dominant player before he started getting offensive snaps as a redshirt freshman. If guys are good enough, they're good enough. I'm not saying Lavert Hill would change everything, but it's dumb to say "He should be dominant on defense before we think about playing him on offense."
It doesn't take a million reps to learn two formations and four plays.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:43 PM ^
I think Mone should be wildcat QB in the red zone.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:54 PM ^
Now that you mention it...
October 15th, 2017 at 2:03 PM ^
With Filiaga motioning across the formation
October 15th, 2017 at 2:44 PM ^
Or we could lease the ice dragon for wide receiver. Nothing would stand in our way.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:44 PM ^
The wrong #1 is getting snaps on offense.
Sit Crawford and give Ambry some reps.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:47 PM ^
This isn't that crazy.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:47 PM ^
I just want Ambry on the field more period. Kid is a baller. He has a fire in his belly that is rare, and is supremely athletic.
October 15th, 2017 at 2:09 PM ^
It has gotten so bad with him that I see plays and wonder if he is shaving points. How does someone mess up the onside kick that badly? He can't catch the ball, get open, break tackles or return kickoffs.
October 15th, 2017 at 3:21 PM ^
To the point that it’s getting quite tiresome
October 15th, 2017 at 1:44 PM ^
Below 6', just going to make him less effective as a CB because he's getting more plays
October 15th, 2017 at 1:44 PM ^
Can Hurst play RT and start both ways? /s We don't need PepCat 2.0....
October 15th, 2017 at 1:45 PM ^
Hill is probably 3rd in line among corners that would get a crack at offense, if the coaches were to do that at all. If you remember, Ambry dominated The Opening at receiver and did the same at King. David Long was a three way guy in HS as well. Both Long and Thomas are taller than Hill, and Long is definitely thicker.
At least pick the right corner.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:45 PM ^
Yeah and lets put Rashan Gary and Maurice Hurst on the o line to sure that up too!
October 15th, 2017 at 4:48 PM ^
Gary at FB in the red zone. Have him pound it in like the Bears used to do with Perry.
October 15th, 2017 at 8:15 PM ^
Gary at Fullback, hand it off to Panda. Have a rabid grizzly bear at center. Profit.
October 15th, 2017 at 8:32 PM ^
Man bear pig formation
October 15th, 2017 at 1:45 PM ^
Put Devin Bush at QB he’d be a much better game manager!!!
October 15th, 2017 at 1:48 PM ^
Before two platoon football, the QB typically played safety on defense.
So Tyree Kinnel or Metellus at QB?
October 15th, 2017 at 1:50 PM ^
Wouldn't mind seeing him at RB - need some further backup
October 15th, 2017 at 1:47 PM ^
Foug for QB.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:47 PM ^
Gentry should start on FG block.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:48 PM ^
What could a 280lb linebacker do playing slot receiver?
October 15th, 2017 at 1:57 PM ^
background, "rumbling, bumbling, down the field!"
October 15th, 2017 at 2:06 PM ^
Lol! I meant fullback btw. Humor lost in poor execution.
October 15th, 2017 at 2:13 PM ^
Didn't he play some fullback in high school. Seriously, with his insanely quick first steps, he would be great at the fullback dive play.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:47 PM ^
We’re going to lose to Rutgers
October 15th, 2017 at 1:48 PM ^
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
October 15th, 2017 at 2:20 PM ^
another stupid comment from someone named trump..
October 15th, 2017 at 1:48 PM ^
Which Hill?
October 15th, 2017 at 1:58 PM ^
Cypress
October 15th, 2017 at 4:15 PM ^
Heartbreak Hill
October 15th, 2017 at 1:52 PM ^
The defense is great, I see no reason to move Khalid.
October 15th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
that's the ticket. we could have 50-100 guys on the field and nobody would know. bet we'd win most of our games.
