Before it all gets blamed on the (admittedly crap) OL...

To be fair, Gio didn't get double digit carries until game 12. Until then he was hardly used (knee recovery). It was around that time that Mixon started showing good numbers too in those last 5 games down the stretch. Gio was the better back by numbers though overall, when including receptions during that final stretch.

I am blurry on exactly when o-line changes were made, but if I had to guess it was around that time, which if so would correlate to both of them doing better, not to mention Hill was done before then.

Based on that, I am not worried about the young slugger, especially when you throw in the fact they fired Zampese 2 games in as that offense was a poopnado and took weeks to recover.
