Dalton was terrific in the new scheme on seven of nine passing for 80 yards that included three-for-three on third downs. His one glitch, an underthrow to the wide-open Josh Malone, was an honest mistake. It was a double move, but Malone beat cornerback Bashaud Breeland so quickly on the first move that he didn’t bother with the stutter step and that’s what Dalton was expecting. No problem, next time all Malone has to do is raise his hand a la A.J. Green to let Dalton know he’s in the clear.

I'm calling BS on Hobson's take here. It was play-action to the left and when Dalton came out of the fake, his first look was to the right, at Boyd who was running through the middle of zone coverage. He then looked left, saw Malone and in almost 1 motion, reset his feet and threw. The throw was all upper body as he didn't get his feet set properly. That's what caused the underthrow. 

Plus, Malone didn't beat his man "so quickly". Breeland bit on the play action and had no help over the top. There's no need to stutter step when you beat a DB off the line of scrimmage. You just get as much separation as possible and wait for the QB to throw it.
