I’d love to see him make it back by the end of the year. There is a silver lining... we will have our answer by the end of the year whether even an average nfl QBs can play well with this offense (although I expect a lot of sacks). Dalton is more than capable if he gets time to throw. That's a big if given the state of our OL. I think we are going to have to commit to running a bit more. It will help Dalton and the defense.

Matts4313 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I expect Dalton to be a mixed bag of incredible and hair pulling out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to help Dalton and the defense, 1) let Dalton throw when the defense anticipates a possible run (i.e. early downs), and use play action 2) keep drives going (the best way to do this is avoid 3rd downs altogether), 3) stop fumbling the ball. Do that, and the offense will be fine. “Commit to running” into stacked boxes, and the offense is going nowhere without an extremely efficient 3rd down conversion rate.

My suggestion to run more and your suggestion of running a more efficient offense hinge on our patchwork OL stepping up. That's a big question mark. Zeke or the threat of Zeke has to be utilized more. My initial suggestion of simply needing to run more stemmed from the fact that Dalton is not mobile. If we pass as much as we have been he is going to get killed. Getting a quicker start would help. Constantly falling behind and slowly getting on track throws the best plans out the window. Dalton is capable - if he gets time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalton is capable - if he gets time. Your premise doesn't follow for me. Why will running the ball more result in quicker starts? We are getting killed early in games because our turnover margin in the first half is -7. So regardless of what the playcalling strategy is moving forward, it will probably look smart if we just stop fumbling the ball so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been nearly as invested the last year or two as I was in the past. I still watch most of the time if I can get the game (not a problem now that I'm in Texas), but I don't get nearly as upset as I used to when they lose.
