I don’t have a problem with this. Hines is a liability in the run game. He’s too undersized to be running between the tackles - we just got done complaining about this in another thread.
What good is a back up RB who can’t be counted on to get positive yardage in the run game? Sure’s he’s made some really good catches, including this last game on that fade, but that’s why we have WRs. Hines isnt such a great receiver that he should be getting looks like that over Pittman/Campbell/Pierce. We can do just fine throwing to RBs in the flat or on wheel routes, and all the other 3 RBs on the roster can do that, plus actually take handoffs and get yards. Hines doesn’t even get YAC as a receiver for that matter.
Hines is a gimmick/gadget type player and we don’t do the fundamentals well enough to be trying gimmicks. We’re just trying to win football games.
There’s been a ton of hype surrounding his skill set for the past few years but where’s the production outside of a handful of nice catches?
