Gio Bernard - The Forgotten Weapon

[HarleyDog]

Love Gio. However, I think after the hit vs. steelers in 2015 playoff game, he was a step behind after that (kinda like a batter getting hit for the first time in the box, then being too cautious after). Then again, he has came back to full speed after a year of shyness. I agree with you. This dude is underutilized. In 2017, IIRC, Hill was injured and Gio stepped up, he was kinda magical. Gio is not your typical backup. This dude get's yards and fights and has good ball control. In addition, his character and ethic is nothing short of great. Would love to see this dude split the backfield occasionally.

I'm pretty amazed when watching the Patriots how they utilize all their backs. Their is no stud in that backfield, each week it seems there's a different focus point back there. How do you plan against that? Brilliant!
