Gio is our best rb and should start.
Sure he didn't make much of a difference last night, but he's proven to be able to run behind all of our "bad lines" unlike Hill and Mixon. Which makes you question if it's our lines or our RB's.....
My guess, it's the RB coach who needs to go for ruining Hill and possibly Mixon. Gio came under Jim Anderson. The last RB coach to give us a run game.
Definately have to think about starting Gio if this keeps up but i still think Mixon needs to get enough carries to get
into a rhythm before we can say Gio is our best RB. Mixon is bigger and just as fast. He can punish Defenders which
i like to have some physicality to my starting RB even though Gio can run with attitude.
BTW, always said it will take time for the O-line to gel, just happy it is the running game that is suffering and not
the QB and the passing game...
Dalton had a pocket to step into and look what happened.
