Dalton has pretty great numbers over the past 5 games

Either our RB's are watching too much Saturday Night Fever during film sessions, or they're "dancing" because they can't find holes that aren't there.

Dalton has done well so far this season. Most of us realize he'd be doing even better if the pass blocking were better and we didn't have to scheme around it. 

Mixon had a good game against the Browns. Most of us realize he'd probably be having a good season with better blocking.

Our line has sucked. It's hurt the overall performance of the offense. Anyone with eyes can see that, and I'm really not sure why some insist on making it seem more complicated than that. What's more likely here?

(A) The line improved their performance against a weak opponent (perhaps with a tweak to scheme) 

or

(B) Mixon suddenly figured out how to hit a hole 11 games into his NFL career, after a great career in both HS and college?

Oh, an 11 game veteran in the NFL you say? I retract my suggestion; there's really nothing to learn after 11 full games in the pros. 

Most folks can "realize" all they want but they are really doing nothing more than going on their opinion; some of which cannot be changed.

I saw a different runner Sunday, Andre Smith said he saw a different runner Sunday. So maybe despite his 11 game career; he learned a little something that could help him hit a hole instead of waiting for it.

The Browns are not a weak opponent against the run. Must folks "realize" that.
