Gio should be more involved in the offense. If he were playing for NE,KC,NO, or Pitt,he would be putting up numbers.
Gio has always been one of my favourite players ...seems team focussed and classy to me and you've got to admire how hard he must have worked to get back for this season (though I agree he may not be fully fit).
Up until his injury he was always good for 1000+ all purpose yards and some chunk yard gains in a season.
For me I have always tended to want him more involved not less, and apart from Hill's rookie season Gio has consistently gotten more YPC.
I don't know what is up.
My guess is that as the new OC maybe Lazor has been too malleable, influenced by the talk about RB by committee, Mixon deciding to voice his opinion about the number of carries he got (which still rubs me up the wrong way)....
He's a valuable player but Mixon has been anointed the lead guy and there's not a lot of opportunity for Gio...if that continues he should be let go as he is on a good contract and he sure as hell could go back to the 1000+ yards production for another team
