The scheme sent in from the sidelines freed up the RB on a fly pattern even more uncovered than Tyreek, . . . that developed too late with the DE closing in on Alex too fast. Otherwise it was a great scheme.
It's the age old dilemma of the goat standing in the exact middle between to ponds. He dies of thirst because he can't decide which pond is preferable to go drink from.

Watch Hill - he's not acting like a decoy. He turned to look for the ball and even threw a hand up. He even tried rolling with Smith when he saw the bailout.
Apart from blind hope, what happens there that makes you think Hill's a decoy? Moreover, what in the world would've stopped him from actually catching the pass as he continued to look Smith's way, even if he was a decoy.
I don't believe for a second he was a decoy nor do I think a professional athlete would've been so shocked by seeing a ball come his way that he'd have wet himself and turtled.
If Alex thinks that Hill can't make that play, it's not a dehydrated goat, it's a vapor-locked engine. It's picture perfect 'paralysis by analysis' and if your physically limited game manager of a QB is getting locked up by that, just exactly what is it that he does out there?
He absolutely has to make that play. He just has to.
