Daltons Pocket Presence

[The Caped Crusader]

I'll repost this, since everyone wants to continue to harp on this until it gets old...


My post from the Lazor OC thread:

Quote:Lack of confidence in your offensive line will do that. It's like telling a driver to get over a bridge as it's crumbling, and try not to fall down. The offensive line makes/breaks team. The same with the defensive line. Playing 8 years at left tackle, the difference is resounding. Dalton is an easy trigger because he has the ball more than anyone on the team...but nobody understands the QB clock here. Getting hit even once can rush your internal clock, make you second guess passes, etc. You could see his frustration when he was shown the picture of the play (When he missed LaFell). 


Does that mean Dalton is free from blame? Absolutely not. But this is what we are seeing. A QB not trusting of one of the most intangible parts of the offense.
