Because everyone likes fan ideas for the coaches: Hill should play both ways

Submitted by Rodriguesqe on

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.

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.

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.

He just got started at CB.

Why don't we settle down and let him dominate at that position before we start getting greedy.

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.

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.

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.

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.
