I Miss Marvin Jones.

No, with a real OC it wouldn't be.  The offensive line's biggest problem (after scheme and predictability from formations) is run blocking in the interior.

Do you remember Marvin Jones' coming out party against the Jets?  Dalton had something like a perfect QB rating and Marv had a ton of quick passes that he would make one guy miss and then turn it in to a big play, and as soon as the Jets would shift, Dalton would go after Green or a TE?  That offense put up a 40 burger on a top Jets defense by using all their weapons wisely and attacking the defenses in their weak spots. 

Today, we run the same plays out of the same formation regardless of the defensive alignment or personnel.  Dalton is not given the authority he once was.  They need to get back to that and those weapons that everyone keeps calling deep threats only will explode once a real coach gets here.
