Will Hill is eligible to play next week
So the long anticipated arrival of Will Hill is upon us. Just in time to face off against Matt Ryan and that receiving corps.
Question is - is he in game shape, and will he start? I'm curious how Pees is going to juggle all these safeties.

He hasn't practiced since August. I don't think he will see action for a while, but just a hunch. May be a few weeks before they start working him in.

Re: Will Hill is eligible to play next week
Don't expect Hill to have an immediate impact for a couple of weeks. If he sees the field next Sunday it will be for a few snaps. I expect the coaching staff to increase his workload against the Bengals and Steelers the two weeks after. We'll need it.

He'll probably start after the bye week. What will be more interesting is who gets cut to put Hill on the roster.

I agree Hill won't be thrust in the starting the roll, they will ease him in like they did Webb.

Re: Will Hill is eligible to play next week
Unlike Webb though Hill is not injured. Plus Hill has been allowed to go to team meetings so mentally he should be fairly okay. Yeah, he'l get eased in but I think the transition will be faster than we think.

The defense has been fine. It could use an upgrade at safety of course, but no need to rush him. Let him work his way in.

Re: Will Hill is eligible to play next week
He can go to meetings but just can't participate in team practice? He could be training on his own? I don't see why it would take him all that long to get in to shape. Can he work out at team facilities?

If he was in the meetings he should be good to go really soon

Re: Will Hill is eligible to play next week
We here at this message board seem to have certain darlings who we clearly think are better than our coaching staff does.
Michale McAdoo was my personal guilty pleasure (that sounds dirty)
Arthur Brown was/is one.
I remember, for the brief time he was here, Donte Stallworth was one. There was another WR we had in preseason a few years ago (Ealy maybe? Some guy out of Duke maybe????) who we really liked who seemingly never sniffed the roster.
Will Hill is a bit different because he's an established pro and even a starter at the NFL level, but I still think that he's one of those guys who we are higher on than the coaching staff. I doubt Harbs or Pees ever logged into PFF.
