Tipped Passes

While the run blocking sure needs to be improved one thing I have noticed from this preseason is that Dalton actually has a legit pocket to settle into.  He looks very comfortable back there with some time to throw. This is allowing for some pinpoint passes especially which really shined in the Bills game and what I have also noticed is a major decrease in the number of tipped passes.

I’m thinking we are going to see a monster year from Dalton with completion percentage up and INTs down as he will have more time and comfortability in the pocket this year.

Andy only really had one year where INTs were an issue. He generally does not throw lots of INTs. 

Where having an actual pocket is really benefitting him is he has (for the first time in his career) been able to step into his throws. Result = dropping dimes all over the field.
