I think Hillman still doesn't know the offense well enough. I think functionally he can block and do what they need to, but I don't know if mentally he is in tune enough to have three plays memorized every down ready so when Manning checks he isn't lost. In a hostile enviornment they want to go with Moreno just because he always knows where he's supposed to be rather than risk poor communication and a blown play by the rookie.
I also want to reitereate that Kuper had a good game and it was Clady and Beadles who struggled.
