If Mixon had not surged at the same time as Gio, I could get behind making Mixon the secondary back.
But with the way Mixon played against the Browns and Steelers, combined with the fact that he seems better equipped to handle the load, makes me more inclined to keep rolling with Mixon and keep Gio in a secondary role with around 10 touches per game. The problem was clearly the line, and something has changed there. No RB had success for 12 weeks, now suddenly the RB is fire no matter who we roll out.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
