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.

As I noted, I saw a difference in both the line, and him.  He said after the Cleveland game that he and the o line had a sit down.  I think he got more decisive, and the line played a little better.  Gio was hitting the hole hard all season.

Look at the improvements, Gio went from 3.5 per to 4.7, Mixon came all the way from 2.9 to 5.0 per.  The line absolutely was the biggest issue, but Joe had his own issues as well from what I watched.

1. That's a sticking point for me as well.
2. Agree with that as well.
