1. He just can't carry the load like that. Mixon had 38 carries in 2 starts. Gio has 27 carries in his 2 starts. Small sample size, but you're just not going to see 20+ totes out of Gio very often.
2. Mixon is the more talented player. There was at least two times last night where Gio ran into a brick wall, and I thought to myself "I've seen Mixon change direction and bounce way outside when that happens. Mixon has more power to bust through, and more speed to change direction like that.
Gio is a good player and I'm happy to have him. He's just not that rock that you can ride all game though...and that's okay.

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