He's a veteran and has been playing lights out since Mixon got hurt. He's good in the pass game and is a great runner.
Gio barely got touches when Mixon was the lead guy. Why does Mixon automatically get put into the lead back role?
Im not saying give every touch to Gio and exclude Mixon...but Gio needs more touches. At least a 50/50 split.
Because Mixon is better. He can do everything Gio can, and has more explosion. Bigger guy with potential to break more tackles and make big plays.
I LOVE Gio, but he is a guy who can only juke, instead of just breaking tackles. D lineman can just jump on him and he'll go down. Saw it myself a few times yesterday. Mixon has power AND speed.
