Well, it's one game so we need to keep things in perspective. My biggest concern is targets to Ross as he is such a weapon and at times, despite being wide open, Dalton went elsewhere into coverage. ( Think of the incomplete TD pass with Ross wide open in the flat) Is it a lack of trust? Is it that Dalton can't work the progressions? It did seem Lazor rolled him out a bit more to get him some looks, so we'll see.
This could be because of the success we had we had and only running a limited number of plays - 28 passes.
Targets went
Green -8
Mixon-7
Boyd-5
Eifert-3
Ross-2
Gio, Kroft, Uzumoh all -1
I more ideal mix would be to get Green and Ross and Eifert all about 3 additional targets. This is all obviously game script dependent.
But like T. Hill with KC, you need to get the ball in Ross's hands more. You need WR Screens, slants, reverses, whatever. Only 2 targets should be a criminal offense.
The more targets Ross gets, the more open AJ will be as well.
Eifert needs to continue improving and seeing more targets as time goes.
