Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been one of the best receivers in the league over the last decade.
And ...
From the beginning, he's been angry toward the Buffalo Bills. Whether it was during his time with the Kansas City Chiefs or with their AFC East rivals, Hill has held no love for one of his biggest rivals.
It all came to a head at Fanatics Fan Fest Saturday afternoon. Hill, speaking on a panel with other players around the league, made it clear that he still isn't pleased with the Bills.
Especially with how the team defends him.
"Whenever we play the Bills, those guys typically play Cover Four because they're a bunch of (expletive)," Hill said via Arye Pulli.
Hill has recorded 45 catches for 470 yards and has scored two touchdowns in nine games against the Bills. That's an average of around five catches for just over 50 yards receiving, nowhere near his personal best around the league.
And so whatever Buffalo has done against him? It has sort of worked.
Hill can be angry all he wants, but it is ludicrous to assume that the Bills should change their defensive alignment so he can get better stats. ... or so he can feel challenged in some man-on-man manner.
Buffalo knows that Miami wants to push the ball downfield, and playing against the "big play" neutralizes what the Dolphins do best.
It's not the kind of poor strategy that Hill has suggested. It's smart for coach Sean McDermott to keep doing what he's doing.
The proof?
The Bills have won 12 of their last 13 games against Miami.
