I'm all for doing this type of thing, but I just figured Gio would fit the role better as the shiftier speedier back.

And I appreciate Burkhead's valiant effort being forced into playing receiver during the playoff game as much as anyone, but I'd rather it be a safety net than a consistent plan.

I don't know what was up with Gio last year. He gained some weight and he just did not seem
the same guy out there. He got caught in the backfield a lot and i saw him miss a lot of holes.

Gotta learn to slow it down, let the blocks get put in place then go.

Saw a really interesting discussion related to this on Twitter today.

We're gonna have some fierce competition for roster spots, playing time, and formations between RB, WR, and TE.  Hue is gonna have an arsenal.  We better put some points up this year.

Some good players will be shown the door.
