I know he was good in college and I see the potential but, I just don't see this dominant runner everyone talks about. He gets wrapped up in the back field just as much as Gio, and yes the line is iffy at best yet Gio has a better YPC. And assuming we are going to win just because he's playing is just nuts. Like I said I see the potential, but I see potential all over the field, what makes his potential that much better than the next guy.

I think the hype, if that's what you want to call it, refers to a RB that is big and powerful, yet has special abilities outside of just running the football between the tackles.  Gio also has this ability but not necessarily the ability to pound it up inside play in and play out for an extended period of time, that's all.  You're talking about 25 or more pounds on Mixon and that makes a huge difference in a one-on-one situations against defenders in open space.  Gio is just not going to run through as many tackles for extra yardage as Mixon.

Mixon = size and speed, Gio = quickness / toughness

What Gio did against Carolina and Atlanta was amazing but it took its toll on him - he got pretty banged up.  

Both are special players and compliment each other very well.  And both will be needed to keep each other fresh through the season.

He said they have a dedicated pole cam that stays on Mixon the entire practice so they can go over his practice with him, see what he sees and what he misses. As for his health, they have gps sensors all over him and can tell from the computers if a player is favoring a body part. He didn't come out and say it, but expect Mixon to play Sunday.
