Since we are trying to feel good in this thread and stay positive, I will give you this. Gio has some mad skills and when Mixon was out he was running like a beast. If Mixon is the bell cow and wears, Gio should have no problem picking up the slack. Gio is a great passing back with good YAC. Unfortunately, he fell into place when we were reinventing our play scheme to include a lot of that stuff and that's just were Marvin sees his role. A lot of talent wasted but who's to say Lazor doesnt bring out his talents and explode them on the field. You never know? Both backs are good and I think we've just begun to see the greatness in both Gio & Mixon.
