Use Will Hill to Shadow Antonio Gates
The Ravens deployed Hill on Jimmy Graham Monday night, and it worked to perfection. Hill essentially erased Graham, Drew Brees’ favorite target, holding him to 47 yards receiving.
While Gates is not the athlete that Graham is at this stage in his potentially hall of fame career, he is still a serious red zone threat and one of Phillip Rivers’ favorite targets. Gates has nine touchdowns through eleven games.
