Back on topic.
The O-line has problems.
Andy doesn't step up to avoid pressure and stick to reads.
Both of these things happen.
Stepping up and ignoring pressure can lead to either a completion, sack, or worse yet strip fumble.
Now ask yourself... do you think Andy has enough room to make the most of those three scenarios?
It's really hard to tell if he can make something of a broken pocket.
You compound that with missing his second go to guy(Eifert) and his normal go to guy being blanketed.
This puts all of the pressure on RBs and the other WRs who are new to the team right now with questionable talent.
I'm not making excuses for Dalton.
You do have to evaluate that to him reverting to skittishness in the pocket with O-line break downs.
It ain't all about the line. It ain't all about Dalton's skill set.
