Where is Gio?

We can't put Gio and Mixon in the backfield together for more than two plays because that is all that was drawn up in the offseason.  We can't make in-season adjustments because our coaches are SOOOO BUSY running around doing paperwork for the game plan that is destined to fail.  

We simply have to let Gio rot on the bench, despite being at least our third best playmaker on offense because we just don't have time to teach him the route tree and have him line up as a receiver for reverses, etc.

Using Gio in space with a LB forced to cover him is way too creative and time consuming for this coaching staff. 

WAIT!  We should complain about the owner, not the coaches, because all he and his leadership team did was sign him to an extension and allow him to be on the roster.  

Does everyone now see why this entire coaching staff has to go?  

Gruden or Hue would have this offense with the same personnel in the top 10 in the league.  It isn't the talent, it is the wasting of the talent with horribly inadequate coaching schematics and instruction.  We saw the players start to throw helmets and speak openly about problems within the game plan.  It is coming again soon.  If they lose to Cleveland, get ready for more helmets to fly.
