But for all of that winless streak with Dalton minus the last game we had no rushing attack with no urgency to fix it. When they did focus on it Mixon was 2nd in the league in rush yds. Tyler Boyd was our #1 who I love but we just spent an offseason arguing if Boyd and Higgins are enough. A defense that outside of week 1 was putrid up to that point and Dalton had the most pass attempts in the league.
The team was winless and our high paid edge rusher had 1 sack all year as the starter
Trying a different approach was not disrespectful. To not try something different would be disrespectful to the enitre team.
At this point you're just talking to talk and making up stuff I said. Take it elsewhere..
My point is that the team had way bigger issues than Dalton that they needed to try and address earlier if they wanted to win. To wait until that point in the season and bench Dalton because your trying to create a spark is ridiculous as hell and just feels like an excuse to me.
Now it all led to Burrow and that's great. But we came out with what feels like the same approach our running game sucked and we were asking Burrow to just throw it a ton. Then when literally everyone is saying we're going to get Burrow killed we just keep plugging along until it actually happens. I know the line wasn't good and we had injuries on top of that but we didn't any adjustments to account for that.
Everyone says a great QB makes the guys around him better which I think is definitely true. But good coaching does the same and I think this coaching staff has in some spots put they're players in bad situations and then when things go bad just say its the player that sucks.
