Rookie Jeremy Hill says Browns ‘worse than I thought’ after Bengals blowout

Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Jeremy Hill was asked if the Cleveland Browns, who whipped his Bengals 24-3 on Thursday night, were better than he thought.

Hill said, um, no.

“Oh no, not at all,” Hill said, per ESPN.com. “They’re probably worse than I thought, to be honest with you.”

A reminder: Hill fumbled in the open field (on not that hard a hit) and then chucked his helmet in digust late in the game after his Bengals offense wet the bed.

Still, consider Hill unimpressed. Thoroughly.

“They didn’t do anything special to me,” Hill said. “I mean, respect to them, they won the game. But that’s all I’ll give them.”

That’s it, eh? 

Oh, and Hill didn’t stop there. He had more in his verbal tank than he did in his legs Thursday night.

“Those guys, they’re not that good,” he said. “It was on us [Thursday]. We gave them the game, in my opinion. They didn’t do anything special. We just gave them the game. They just sat back with coverage the whole day.”

Ask yourself this, Jeremy: Did they need to run any other coverages based on what you were doing?

Wait … don’t answer that. Best if you hushed up for a bit, Jeremy.
