TY Hilton is no longer just shut out of the game if teams stop the vertical passing game. He can actually do other things.

Not only a coaching staff aware of his strengths, but his weaknesses. Yes, you can jam Hilton. You know how to beat that? Stacks and rubs. So this coaching staff does that. Pagano/Chudzinski would never have dreamed of that.
Sometimes coaching is as much about erasing or minimizing known weaknesses as it is playing to strengths.
