Just a few offensive notes to toss in there:
Ehinger looked savvy but undersized. He played a more polished game than I expected, but he's going to get stood up a lot out there. In the run game, I especially worry about guys getting into his pads, getting him upright due to a lack of functional strength and then just blowing him backwards to destroy plays. He showed promise but he also showed the one thing that I just don't think can be fixed in-season and that's the lack of NFL strength. I know we're excited about continuity, but I think I'd prefer Fulton right now. He'd a road grader and while he's not going to be an asset in the stretch plays, etc... that we run, he'll be a better straight ahead blocker and I think he's less likely to get detonated in pass pro.
I worry that Hill's on his way to that nasty middle where we do things specifically to get the ball into his hands that are not within the flow of the offense. It's the kind of thing that made McCluster a liability even when he was effective and I believe DAT would've been the same thing. Andy likes having a gimmick player but then screws up offensive flow with those one-route offensive plays where everyone else just kinda watches or blocks. If Hill is going to be a true difference maker, it needs to be as the X and I don't think Reid envisions that, at least not based on his early usage.
