A few thoughts

Last year in the second Browns game, he ran for 98 yards at 4.5ypc and and people were like "He's back! Slump over!" Then he proceeded to get 206 yards at 3.4ypc over the final four games of the season.

1 game doesn't wash away 1.5 seasons. It does give some hope, though. I'd like to see it happen against a team that isn't the Bad News Browns, too, unless you think the Bengals run O is suddenly one that will be able to put up 271 yards rushing at 9 yards a pop.

I'd say it's more likely that our run blocking suddenly looked competent against weak competition, than it is that Hill and Gio suddenly developed good vision and speed for one game. Gio has had a bad year running this year too, LL.

Actually, it's more than just this year. In Gio's previous 16 games heading into this week, he only rushed for 470 yards and 0 TDs on 3.73 yards per carry. Awful numbers. Worse than Hill over the same stretch.

I know you really don't like Hill, but Gio's recent numbers are strong evidence that it's more of a blocking problem than just a Hill problem.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
