Is Gio the starter now?

[Shake n Blake]

Gio is a playmaker and has great hands for a RB, but if anyone is expecting him to start and carry the load as a runner, it's probably never going to happen. He's more of a Pierre Thomas type of player as far as what we can expect out of him, production-wise. Nothing wrong with that at all, either. Thomas was a great player for a long time. He just wasn't a "bell cow" or whatever Hobspin calls it.

For that reason, we'll always need a guy like Hill or Green-Ellis to take a huge chunk of the carries.
