I'll still contend that Gio is best used against a defense that has been worn down some or we can get him the ball where there's some space.

That's exactly what I just posted in my starting running back going forward thread.

We need Hill to grind it out and get the tough yards, as well as breaking big plays, and then bring in Gio when the defense is too worn down to chase him in space or tackle him with his shifty moves.  That's not saying that Gio shouldn't be used on occasion early, but Hill needs to be our bell cow, and then bring in Gio to keep the defense running in circles, and then bring in Hill to close.
