Joe and Gio's averages went up at the end of the year because Gio got more than 2-3 carries a game (someone told me it would "drop like a rock") and Joe became more decisive in his running.

If you, Hobs, and other want to say it was because of some blocking epiphany, feel free: or you can look at all the facts and realize that the RBs played a MAJOR role.

It's actually some of both.  The blocking scheme absolutely was changed up per Bill Lazor in his presser.  It absolutely made a positive difference, because Ludwig's scheme did not play to his guys' strengths.  In fact, it exposed their weaknesses.  This absolutely helped Giovanni Bernard.  As for Mixon, the scheme, and his own changes helped him.

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