Football Follies Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I have Gio and am facing Hill this week, double whammy (although I do have Hill in another league). Unfortunately I'm starting T West in place of Gio. As for long term concern, i have none. Gio will still get his touches when healthy.

Dolphin_Akie Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Im assuming tonight is Hills final game as the lead back and Bernard is back in 10 days but in good matchups Hill will still be worth a start youd imagine. If he can push 100 yards and a TD tonight he's been more than worth it for 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileyrott Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Per Roto: NFL.com's Albert Breer reports Giovani Bernard (hip) could remain sidelined beyond Week 10. Already ruled out for Thursday Night Football, Bernard apparently isn't a lock to return when the Bengals visit the Saints in Week 11. Breer also echoes reports that Bernard could be returning to a timeshare with Jeremy Hill, saying "(the) coaches won't be going away from (Hill)." It appears the time to sell high on Bernard has come and gone. Source: Albert Breer on Twitter Nov 6 - 2:44 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin_Akie Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Didnt stay up for the game (1.30am start UK time). What went wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenzal rhomb Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Didnt stay up for the game (1.30am start UK time). What went wrong? Andy Dalton made it to the stadium Edited November 7, 2014 by frenzal rhomb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Didnt stay up for the game (1.30am start UK time). What went wrong? JMO, but the offense wasn't the same without Gio. Oh, and Dalton was abysmal. To answer the question of the OP, this Gio owner is not that worried...

stevegrab Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Didnt stay up for the game (1.30am start UK time). What went wrong? The Browns showed up like it was a SB and the Bengals thought they were playing the JV team.. Dalton played bad, but it is far from all on him. And the Browns and their defense deserve (but probably won't get) plenty of credit. Not sure why they stopped trying to run the ball, even down 2 TDs to start the 2nd quarter they should have run more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Didnt stay up for the game (1.30am start UK time). What went wrong? Bad playcalling, bad OL, and bad Andy. Hill actually ran well for the most part. Credit the Browns defense for making CIN look like clown shoes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hill's now all over the innernets saying the Browns aren't that good. Maybe so, Mr. 100 yards less rushing than last week... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already showing why teams were shying away from him in the draft. All the talent of a starting RB & all the intelligence of a high-school punk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football Follies Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Yea Hill sounds like a complete moron today...he had a terrible fumble yesterday and their offense was a joke and hes coming out saying the Browns are terrible . Dalton had a historically bad game as well throwing it 5-10 yards wide of his receivers. Had Sanu wide open for a TD early in the game and threw it 5 yards out of bounds.

Bedo Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hill is no different then most young RB's or honestly most RB's in the NFL. They shoot theirs mouths off to often and get jacked up when they get embarrased. Honestly out of everyone last night I certainly would not blame the loss on Hill. He is the better runner between him and Gio on that team no doubt about that. The game plan was not very well thought out. They should have ran the ball against Cleveland much more then they did. Even coming out in the second half they were only down by two scores at the time and they were still trying to pass the ball. Hill's fumble would have happened to most RB's. A Helmet to the ball does it most times. I am not a Hill owner but sure wish I was for this year and beyond. They do not pay RB's to be smart, they pay them to get yards and TD's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Hill and said so prior to the season starting but he isn't and won't be the spark plug that makes that offense go...that's Gio.

Bedo Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Trust me it will be closer to 50/50 time share the rest of the year and Hill will have more TD's then Gio the rest of the season....in other words, Hill will produce more fantasy points the rest of the way. Thats my prediction, could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gio is healthy he will outscore Hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def. Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Wrong, he got benched for some no name white guy last night. He has been banged up a couple times already too and may have a fumbling issue. If Gio is healthy he will outscore Hill Need to ease up on the fumble talk. It was his first that I know of (first lost for sure) and it was a helmet to the ball. This does not reflect a fumbling issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 the offense was terrible and they came out feeding Hill like crazy....Hill is NOT better than Gio he's one dimensional and Gio can do it all He never said Hill was better than Gio, just that Hill is a better runner than Gio. Gio is more versatile, but Hill is the chain mover / early down / between the tackles guy. 50/50 wouldn't surprise me ROS. Probably more like 60/40. One thing seems certain - Hill isn't going to be Gio's caddy like he was the first several weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
