Pass blocking is a huge issue and a big reason i was not a fan of letting Gio go

When a guy is getting less than 3ypc sometimes, how long do you roll before you get behind? As the numbers mention, he isn't breaking any tackles or making anyone miss. That was really evident Monday night.  He had 8 carries for 27 yards with a long of 6. That simply isn't cutting it. Then there's the whole pass blocking bit, which frankly is piss poor. We don't want to be predictable, but how can you trust a guy like that in a passing situation on third down? You can't. The coaches just need to go on and pull the plug.

Pretty much.

Yep, that's why I added the caveat at the end of my post. I sure hope it isn't the case, but the optics are bad for sure.

I really think he struggles against elite talent - let's also not forget he dislocated his knee a few weeks ago. The highs and lows are just crazy with him. 

The problem, to me, is there have been too many lows this year.
