Also agree with coach, he was rather underwhelming.....

In his only full starts after that change, he went for 114 yards on 23 carries, then 96 yards on 18 carries.

I'm not going to say he set the world ablaze, but he showed well after the change. I'm more concerned about 2 things:

1. I'm not sure he learned his lesson, considering how cocky he acted on the field.
2. Injuries. If we talk about Gio not being able to handle a full load, it's only fair to bring up Mixon missing time.
