Perhaps a better question:
Better YPC in Buffalo Gio or Joe

i believe he has only been on the practice squad as undrafted FA in 2016 which was no surprise at all. Last year he was on the reserve/injured for the year. I do think he has a solid chance of making the squad this year though, just hope he can do something on special teams to secure his position.

He has the ability and so do the other backs from what i have seen.
We got some really good RB's, that is what is so exciting if this line can get good at run blocking.

after today, I AM worried about our run game. Mixon 6 carries 7 yards, Gio 4 carries 3 yards! ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! I apologize for being more optimistic than I should have!

Marvin needs to get Hill Mixon more touches so he can get in a rhythm and then do better at running, or something.

well, that performance wasn't much better than his one reception..........Gio should be our starter, Carson as 3rd string, Walton somehow gets the 4th spot because of his draft status and then we hope to sneak B Hill on the practice squad

Well there ya go.. no need whatsoever for any kind of running back in football anymore . Andy will throw for 8000 yards and we'll win the super bowl without any kind of run formations.. You read it first here folks..
