Passing Game Coordinator/Secondary Renaldo Hill

(On why he chose Miami) – “Big family decision for my wife and I. We’ve been away from our families for so long being on the West Coast, just needed the support. It was good for us to get back closer to some family. We both have familiar roots being here. She was in Miami the last time I was here, and this is our third time together here in Miami. It felt like home. It felt like a great decision to be back. Obviously I knew I was coming back to Coach Fangio. That situation there was an awesome situation, but having a title, not calling it; I felt like I could really put a stamp on helping build the defense up again. Also just with the personnel you saw that we have over here already – the up front guys – I knew I was coming into a talented situation. I think it’s inspiring when you can start something from the ground and build it up. We knew the guys over here were wanting change and looking for change and we provide something different. It’s time for us to pour into those guys and try to build this the right way we want to.”

(What’s the biggest thing you’ve learned from defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, and also from your time as defensive coordinator?) – “I think the biggest thing with Vic is he’s strong in his convictions. It’s worked over time. He knows where the trouble shoots are at, he knows how the teams are trying to attack him. I think he’s always looking to move the down around and help our guys and making sure that even though we have a talented group that no one feels that stress just for the whole game. He’s able to do that and I think that’s the way to play. When the guys know that it’s constantly moving, teams got to find it and then when you need your guys to show up on third down, on money downs, you need your premium guys to step up. He’s big with that and that was my approach as a coordinator when I was over there with the Chargers. Just trying to take some of the things he instilled in me over there and those guys are having success. Second year in the playoffs, and I definitely wish them the best, but I’m happy with my situation here. I know it’s a chance to continue to grow. The other thing with Vic is he’s always not looking to stay stagnant. He’s always looking to what’s the next thing, what’s the next thing in the NFL. How it changes from our scheme, and how we can incorporate our scheme to make it better each year. Those are important things that I learned over time is to just make sure that you’re staying ahead of the curve in this league because it’s forever changing, and you just don’t want to be that system that stalls out.”

(With that title of passing game coordinator. How is this passing game in particular with all the guys they have here challenge your role?) – “It’s challenging every day, but I feel like with us going against these guys in practice every day I don’t think there will be things that will surprise us. With the multiple things we do offensively it kind of ties into how we want to be defensively being multiple and being able to adjust to different styles of play and I think we get that on a daily. It’s a talented group on that offensive side, and we just want to continue to build our defensive side, and get caught up to speed there.”

(LB Jerome Baker said that it takes a smart guy to play in this defense, I’m curious how you think the personnel fits that, that you have to be pretty smart to play?) – “I think our personnel fits very well especially the way the game is changing. You don’t have those big backers that are sitting inside. I think you’ve got to have some flex, you’ve got to have edge guys that can possibly move and play different things. You’ve got to have backers that can get in and out of different packages. I think the offenses challenge you that way. I think the more they can figure out what you’re in it’s easy for them to adapt. We want to stay as multiple as we can and be unpredictable as we can.”
