Should Mixon get his job back

Gio before Browns game? 3.5 YPC. 
Gio since? 5.6 YPC

Mixon before Browns game? 2.9 YPC
Mixon since? 4.9 YPC

Still seems you're dancing around the o-line topic and just want to focus on the backs as if they're somehow independent and don't rely on blocking. As if the above numbers aren't extremely telling. Maybe both Gio and Mixon both figured out how to "get skinny" at the exact same time.  Rolleyes

Oh no, I mentioned that I saw a different running approach starting with Mixon during the Cleveland game; as he started hitting the holes with less hesitation. Someone else told me it was silly to think a RB really had anything else to learn about running after 11 games into his professional career.

Gio's increase in number is most likely be attributed to increased workload; as he "only" averaged 4.0 during the Cleveland game (the game the oline all learned how to block at the same time). His numbers jumped when he got the bulk of the carries. Something someone on here (read "dancing around" point) told me would go the opposite direction if Gio's carries increased.

Point is Gio performed better than Joe before this proposed oline epiphany and has performed better than Joe after the proposed oline epiphany, so why should Joe be our feature back?
