But all of Marv's teams sucked in these games pretty much so just hoping it was him, we will see.

As soon as I turn the channel, I see Malone all alone in the secondary with a pass that hit him right in the hands. And he drops it. Even if it is a preseason game, a receiver should always be able to catch a pass right in his hands without any defender on him. Malone is blowing his opportunity to get more playing time. Boyd and Core look like our starting 2 receivers. Malone has issues in his helmet as well as his hands.

No one is. Dalton hate gets old like spilled milk.

A back shoulder throw is when a QB forces a Receiver to turn around when running down field. If the receiver doesnt adjust to the throw it would hit him in the back but since he has to break off his route turn around and catch the ball it makes it a back shoulder throw.

And the red part. Did he change his mind?

Again, I'll agree to disagree and move on. I'm not going to get blue in the face when we have multiple missed tackles on the same play.

It was an incomplete pass that he should have made. No more, no less, no excuses.

I'm really not hoping...simply because i HATE that word. It's used around here thousands of times a day "let's hope" "i hope" "hopefully"...all over this board, all the time and i can't stand it. Do you know how many years and how many situations i've read about how someone "hopes" something? 

I'm saying it will take a couple games because ZT said himself that the very first thing the coaching staff will do (today) is sit down together and go over the logistics of how things were done and tweak it from there. It will be a prioritiy and it has to be. If coaches can't communicate with each other and the players throughout the game, nothing will work. 

As far as the game, the route combinations of the receivers was completely different than in the past. I don't know if you noticed but they also went 4 and 5 wide multiple times on the opening drive with Dalton. 

If that is going to be the norm, that combination should allow Dalton to have a career year statistically, as long as most of his weapons stay healthy. What remains to be seen is if he can do it well under the lights and in the playoffs.

I still have yet felt that he lives up to his contract.

On that early screen play he not only didn't know who to block but seemed lost in general.

It honestly looked like a Bobby Hart impersonation.

Bravo! Cordy. Bravo!!
