In order to manipulate the pocket - step up. The O-line has to actually be holding their blocks. Like you say far to often Andy had instant pressure up the gut with free rushers. It's much harder to "step up" like that.
There was very little opportunity for Dalton to work the pocket last season. Pressure was coming fast and hard from all over !
It's easy for people to say "he should have done this", but they are not the one with pressure constantly coming. When the center gets blown up and you have pressure in your face, it's next to impossible... the only real option he has is to roll out, most often to his right.
