Gio is doing his thing incredibly well. The issue here is Hill is being incredibly indecisive and hesitant, instead of just charging in like he should
But then "patience in letting the lane develop" is often cited as a positive attribute for a runner to have as well.

Remember last year when Gio would run up the middle and go nowhere? Now he's got the necessary space and proceeds to dice up the defense. Obviously Jeremy is not playing the way any of us expected. I attribute that to a sophomore slump, like what happened to Gio last year.
Another thing that is helping the OL look good is that Dalton isn't running out of a clean pocket like he used to. He's hanging back there and then climbing the pocket before throwing a bomb, although he did it in yesterday's game more than he normally has this year. In the past, Dalton would just run out of the pocket even though there was no pressure. He's trust and calmness has allowed the OL to also look better.
Big time on Dalton's pocket presence. He seems to manipulate it so much better this year. I dig it.
Being a Bengals fan is like being in love with a narcissist. It's a brutal, emotionally abusive relationship but I never leave and just keep making excuses for them.
