With Mixon in the fold and Hill in a prove yourself year I suspect we will be fine. Let Hill and Mixon man the wheel and let Gio give our offense a mid-season pick me up. If Gio has his agility back it would make him even more deadly with fresh legs against guys who have been running since the start of the season.

Hill is either struggling because of a lack of acumen. If that's due to bad/inconsistent coaching, replace the coach. If that's due to Hill, then this is a perfect time to transition him out through the first few games and Mixon in, with a chance to bring Gio back slowly through the second part.
