Thread: How many tackles did Ronnie Hillman break last year

You still haven't explained how you KNOW he doesn't work hard at football. Is it based on comments from teammates and coaches? Have you seen his practice or workout routine? What do you base this stance on?

Lol

"None of them" - none of them is the answer to the poll.

Who cares? Bibbs / Hillman? I couldn't care less at this point.

Bibbs is on the roster and is therefore the better player.

Mods please close this POS.

Wait, no, we had one of the worst pass offenses in the league last year. Well, it must have been because we had a bunch of big leads and were milking the clock. Nope, wasn't that, we were in pretty much nothing but close games last year.

So how could Ronnie have possibly put up the numbers he did last year if he was so horrible? Please explain it to me.

As for no one signing him yet, there hasn't even been a game played yet. He'll find his way onto a roster and be productive, much like he was here.

You mention Sankey, he was signed to the Pats practice squad, not active roster. Sitton was an all pro, so of course he got signed. And Colquitt was just overpaid, not necessarily bad.

I believe Hillman ran twice as much as Anderson and ended with a similar number of yards. You ask how does Hillman get the yards? through sure volume and hoping some of his runs produce. I wonder how many of his runs were for less than 2 yards?

Yeah, no. Hillman had roughly 50 more carries than Anderson and gained 140 more yards.

Hillman wasn't a "bad" back. He just wasn't anything special. Neither is Anderson or Bibbs IMO. We'll see about Booker.

Adding on:

Anderson appears to be the much better back in the passing game though. Both caught around the same passes - Hillman @ 24 vs. Anderson @ 25 - yet Anderson gained a substantial amount of yardage over Hillman - 111 vs 183 respectively.

I'm surprised he hasn't been signed as a Full Back yet Dog!
Kidding.

Ronnie was a serviceable back but never the electric quick, fast back he was supposed to be.

Say what you want about Hillman. His long TD against the Vilings kept me from burning Denver to the ground. I didn't fly there for the weekend to see a loss. Peace be with you, Ronnie.

You wouldn't list Tom Brady's accomplishments and draft position to downgrade Aaron Rodgers. That's absurd. Come on, now.

MO walks into this discussion like a grown up among kids.
