Dude Hill is lighting it up. He ran for a ton vs us. OK bad example but didnt he run for 1300 yds rookie year?

I'm of a mind that our draft history is crap both because it has been mostly crap over the years and this is the second year of pretty much a whole new draft regime.

Vaccarro isnt used wrong as much as he just isnt very good. In what area does he excel? I think Roman Harper is still better. Harper led the team in tackles many games and Vaccarro is no better in coverage if not worse.

2015 Co rushing TD leader. Not bad for the hometown product (Baton Rouge). Cincy gave him another chance and he is making the most of it. Good for Hill

So far, generally agree. This is the tell tale year for him.

He's come in like every other DB we've drafted, thrown out on the field uncoached and on the fast train to bust. The only real decent players we have out in the backfield have had the advantage of actually being coached at the NFL level with another team that actually does that. He was a real crowd pleaser his first year except no one taught him about not using his head when tackling. We don't know where he excels because he's not really been given the chance or the coaching to do that.

Seer,

I do expect to see good progress from our secondary for 2016. Mainly because of the assistance coaches we've added.

Giunta & Glenn will bring grit that we've lacked over the years. FWIW, Glenn did a really good job with Joe Haden in his development while he was up in Cleveland.
