Whether some care to admit it or not Dalton is a smart QB. He understands the game. He has good anticipation and one of the top pre-snap QBs in the league. It seems that some forget that prior to injuring his throwing thumb he was on an MVP pace.
Yes Dalton needs some protection and no he is not on the level of a Tom Brady or an Aaron Rodgers. Would be silly to argue that he is. However, if he gets some protection then he can take this team on a very deep playoff run I firmly believe. I really feel that Taylor and Callahan are going to be able to get the best of Andy Dalton out of him in their scheme.
I also look forward to seeing us smash the ball against Pittsburgh like they have us for so many years. It is very refreshing to feel that there is absolutely an identity and direction and a very precise plan to put it into action.
Should help everyone on Offense having an offensive minded coach instead of a defensive minded one.
The Defense i think looked so bad cause of coaching, we have new coaches and i really love Tem's resume and Lou Anarumo will see what Austin did poorly with these players last year and adapt accordingly. It was pretty damn obvious, the Linebackers were out of position or injured all year long, if Tem can get our guys to be in the right position and wrap up all the while diagnosing plays we will be good on that side of the ball too.
We have a good D-line and a good Secondary for Lou and the new Line coach to work with.
