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.

This is interesting and a good point.  Teams often makes excuses for a QB that is  (in Dalton's case, his fourth OC) experiencing a lot of change at the OC position but it rarely gets used on a RB. 

Gio is the classic "tweener" that many see as too small to carry the load, but how many times have we complained about the blocking scheme when it came to our RBs?  

Lazor, plus the new offensive line coach, could breath new life in to a rushing attack that seemed to gain new life the last few games of 2017-18.
