Historically speaking, the biggest improvement you will see in a team is between week 1 and week 2...
I'm sure the scheme will adjust to prevent the abuse of Dalton again, and I was thinking that some of his hot reads might have been less experienced players (Uzo, Boyd, Lafell) so maybe he held on to the ball a bit longer than normal to be sure of the route and avoid a pick.
Dalton no question had a bit of rust and nerves early on, and got sacked 3 times very early because of this. He settled down nicely and relied a great deal on Green. I'm sure he will get in sync with the rest of his team quickly.
And as far as a 17 point embarrassment goes, this team doesn't get beat by two scores. I don't think that happened once last year, let alone three scores.
