I'm actually fine with making Perine the main back and drafting a speed back to compliment him. I like Mixon, always have, but his refusal or inability to improve his blocking is really getting to me, which is why I said it was a mistake to get rid of Gio.

Absolutely we need one that can block as well as carry the rock.

Agree with this as well. On a whole its just not smart to keep RB's long term in this league anymore the way it's structured imo. 

Actually Gio fit the mold of what Jay Gruden was searching for and said that was his goal to find before the draft. We had the speed back already in in Bernard Scott and the plodder in the Law Firm, but Gruden said he needed a more versatile back in the mix.

Yet Gio was a tad light in the rear end to be the perfect back, yet he was a darn good one who would sacrifice whatever was needed for the team.
