Why was Gio's YPC so much better that Mixon's before the Cleveland game if the Cleveland game was a turning point? It cannot be because Gio got fewer carries as that goes entirely against what I was told earlier in the year when I thought GIo should be getting the carries.
But it's typical Marvin, starting the Rookie over the vet until it's too late.
If your favorite was simply whoever is performing better, why weren't you creating threads trumpeting Mixon after the Browns game? You were big on Hill when the season started and now you're big on Gio. I don't think you've said a positive word about Mixon all year long. It is what it is.
As for the line, I'm not sure why you're so stubborn on this.
Gio before Browns game? 3.5 YPC.
Gio since? 5.6 YPC
Mixon before Browns game? 2.9 YPC
Mixon since? 4.9 YPC
Both went from varying levels of "bad" to "excellent". I don't care who starts or who gets the most carries. I'd just like to see you admit the line was seemingly the problem all along. The numbers certainly suggest as much. Both backs have seen an increase in YPC of at least 2 yards per tote. That's incredible. If it's not the line, I'd love to hear what you think it is.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
