Having Gio back there to pickup free defenders is allowing Burrow some more time and as such is letting the play develop more before he has to throw.

Yes, need to keep up what we are doing, when Mixon comes back use him more in the passing game is my thought.

But keep using Gio to pick up the blitz. Sure wish Mixon was as good at picking up the blitz as Gio, it would make everything better.

But Gio might be the best RB at picking up the blitz in the NFL so not a giant slight on Mixon.
