If Josh "I'm made of glass" Hill is beating Fleener out its not a good sign. Hopefully this is just a procedural "wake up call".

Why the hate on Hill? He's been solid over the past few years as a rotational TE. And I don't remember him being hurt...and if he has been then it certainly hasn't been enough to give him that moniker.

I like Hill but he's not the type of receiver that causes defenses to sweat. Fleener was supposed to be a big legit receiving TE to replace Watson. I think Hill is solid, just not the type of guy that defenses have to scheme against.
