I still do have hopes for this kid though.
PonyExpress said:Who is he going to sub for and when? The guy could be all world and not play here. Seymour and Warren are both monster talents. I don't think this is as much an indictment of Hill as it is an acknowledgment of how good Seymour, Warren and Green are. They are great. I think Marquise Hill is a good player and will get better. 6'7'' 310 lb people aren't very common, and he was a terror at LSU...

Possibility 5: BB likes to have quality backups. Should the DLine ever get the injury bug like DBs have been, it will be nice to have a backup rather than go out and try to sign a DE in December, when the only guys available are Steve Martin and Bernard Holser.PatsFanInVa said:Possibility 1: BB reallllly likes the idea of a ton of talented big guys at defensive line, possibly so he can get a Big Man Dance Challenge ring.
Possibility 2: BB is sick of Hill, who he does not see as productive (this possibility is only borne out with Sullivan at end, not NT)
Possibility 3: BB does like what he sees of Hill thus far, cannot get him on the field, and sees Green as getting way too expensive for a backup.
Possibility 4: The 3-5-3 defense, in which two linebackers are massive D-line guys in the middle, two are pass coverage aces, and one is a roving disrupter.
This is not a serious suggestion but I will say it was if anybody ever uses it.
Maybe Mrs. B will have some words of wisdom on this one come July (if it's still a topic of conversation...)

If you ask me this guy is just about done in New England, so don't get your hopes up.
