Even when we were down a bunch of weapons in 2014, we won 10 games, that saw Dalton rush for 5 TDs, and even catch one. The key was the offense being unpredictable, and.....this a big and.....the line was able to give Dalton enough time to scan the field. That hasn't been the case since 2015. To me, that's what Andy needs more than anything else, time. You give him that, and you will see better results.
To me one of the major issues we have had since Dalton has been here has been our lines. People will quickly get up in arms here before reading on and start screaming about how good some of the lines were Dalton had. Well yes and no. Since Dalton has been here we have had some outstanding pass blocking lines for sure. What we have not had is a dominant run blocking line. We have not had a line that was capable of running the ball when they wanted to. We have only been able to run the ball when the defense has backed off.
I have waited a long time to see a team that is just flat going to be physical and pound defenses. A dominant run game will give Dalton time and open up our receivers. I am excited to see them start putting this together.
