CB Tye Hill, the former first-round pick in 2006 by St. Louis, started last week against New Orleans for the Falcons. The Falcons got Hill, who was injury prone in St. Louis, for a seventh-round draft pick. "It's just good to be healthy," said Hill, who will face the Redskins, ex Falcons CB DeAngelo Hall's current team, on Sunday. "God bless, I'm healthy. That's the big thing. As far as being a starter, I mean we don't know who's starting until Sunday," Hill said. "I can't really label myself a starter yet. But I'm preparing as a starter because that's all I know since I've been in the league. That's the mindset that I've got." Hill made some good tackles against the Saints and appeared solid in coverage. "I felt like I did some good things," Hill said. "I felt like I did some things I can improve on. I felt like I did some bad things. It was just the ebb and flow of the game. As a competitor, you always feel that you can do some things better." Hill tackled much better than Grimes and came up in run support. "I don't know why some people thought I wasn't a hitter," Hill said. "I've always been a hitter." 1//5/2009
