Will Hill the new Bone Crusher?

[TBird]

Everyone complained about losing Boldin from the SB47 team but I was pissed about Pollard the Bone Crusher's departure as HARBs cleaned house after the SB win.

 

I'm sure Gronk sent HARBs a big thank you note to as he won't have Pollard to mess him

up anymore. Pollard had his way with Gronk on other teams before joining the Ravens but now

he might have to worry about our new Bone Crusher - WILL HILL. What another great signing

by Oz. He knew we'd need Hill in the middle of the season when he came back from suspension.

Looks like he'll be here for a while. He still has areas to improve on but not his hits on Miller, Bryant

and Wheaton.

 

From Film Study's notes:

 

 

Will Hill imprinted himself physically on the Steelers. He plastered Miller immediately after he dropped a 5-yard pass on 3rd and 13 (Q1, 8:45). He was positioned for a pick behind Miller before the Steelers TE got his fingers on the football (Q3, 7:51). He did not provide over-the-top help versus Brown on the 44-yard play that immediately followed Forsett’s fumble (Q4, 11:51). He again arrived after Miller failed to haul in a pass (Q4, 8:14). He separated Bryant from the football in the end zone (Q4, 3:09) with a big hit. He finished his night with the whiplash hit on Wheaton, who had difficulty getting back in position for a snap after his 17-yard reception (Q4, 1:43). Hill has contributed significantly in run support as part of his fine season, but the Ravens will need him to contribute off the LoS for as long as their season continues.

We'll need him to be "the man" vs Gronk and make a few statements early in the game.

Will Hill is a badass back there in the secondary. He plays with an attitude. It seems like he's finally getting comfortable in the defense, and that's letting him expand his range while being aggressive.

 

Gronk will be a tough matchup, but remember that Hill played very well against Jimmy Graham.
