Stupid to take Mixon off the field on 3rd down and just keep Gio in to pass protect. Even if Gio was adept at pass protection and Mixon was not, they are better served attacking the defense by spreading them out with more targets. Burrow is so quick and decisive. This will be a huge improvement. Sure hope they actually stick with that idea.
Agreed, plus it wouldn't be a bad idea to use Gio on early downs at times to change things up.
Too damn predictable bringing in Gio on 3rd downs all the time.

This is because of the predictability and the fact that they were used that little speaks volumes.
