Hill excited about new role

Posted by Mike Sando @ 08:38:40 pm

Things are looking up for Leroy Hill. He is healthy and the Seahawks have recommitted to him as a pass rusher. It's June, so we can't know if coaches will follow through when the games count. But Hill seemed optimistic today: "The plan is to pressure a little bit more this year and that will be a good thing. Last year, Julian (Peterson) got a majority of the pressures. My rookie year, I got the majority of the pressures. Last year I went into more of a coverage year. This year they said they're going to balance it out."

Hill's role changed with Peterson's arrival last season. The Hawks used him less as a pass rusher. He became more of a coverage linebacker. Throw in a painful neck stinger and Hill did not resemble the rookie who collected 7.5 sacks in 2005. Hill's health improved late last season and he led the team in tackles during the playoffs.

"I was working off raw ability (as a rookie)," Hill said. "Last year maybe I was thinking a little too much. I know it now. There is no reason to think. I feel pretty good. We're putting in a couple new defenses. I'm ready for the season to start."
