Gio is not a waif. He is 5'9" 205. He is as big or bigger than Ray Rice, Ahmad Bradshaw, Justin Forsett, Jamaal Charles, Maurice Jones-Drew, and DeAngelo Williams.
I don't think he would hold up pounding between the tackles 20 times a game, but stout, quick backs like him can be very effective running between the tackles.
Agreed. After I read Xeno's post, the first thought that came to mind was "predictable".
Gio is a good back. He can do it all. He's obviously stronger in some facets of his game, but he can run up the middle too.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
