Gio/Mixon on the field together are much more of a dynamic duo than Hewitt/Hill. Much harder for D's to cover. The true FB days are gone and I'm not so sure having Hewitt on the field really matters with this O-line ? Where Gio and Mixon combo is much tougher to account for.

Yeah no kidding. I actually thought that was the plan when they drafted them back to back tbh. I can't remember a game where they actually used them both at the same time. 

I am no offensive guru but wouldnt having gio and mixon lined up in the backfield in a shotgun formation where you send them to the flats open up a 1 on 1 matchup over the middle for the te or slot guy? I have been amazed that we have not seen this...
