I think Brown runs with power and does so in short yardage situations in spite of the fact that he does run too verticle. Did you see the 4th and short against NOLA Monday night when he was stopped behind the los but still managed to move forward enough to pick up the first-down ?
And I do agree with RPs assessment of Hill: why not use an Eric Winston (who was also actually a TE before being converted to OT), who could probably still catch a pass as well as Hill (very, very low bar there) if need be but still be a more effective blocking TE.
