Take quick shots in the air when the time comes up but their primary offense should be on the ground. their offensive line can surely run block.

I can see with Dalton having a minus 4 in Fantasy Points you would want all run plays. Heck, Tampa QB Winston didn't even play due to hurricane giving him 0 points, but a team I was up against had Dalton to put in and didn't, and turned out 0 was better than minus 4 of Dalton. Still, it defeats having Green, LaFell, Eifert, Boyd, Ross, Core if all we do is run. Dalton is better than this. I remember fans boo Ken Anderson in game one in 1981, but he won MVP taking Bengals to Super Bowl. Don't Bengals have Andre Smith and Winston as veteran tackles if OGG and Fisher don't get the job done ? Andre may be our best right tackle and we aren't using him. Also, I don't like how coaching used the RB's in game one. These running backs need carries to get into the flow of the game. The coaches were running Hill, Bernard and Mixon in and out like a preseason game, never letting one of them to get hot. It was like the coaches are still in preseason deciding who to play and THAT is poor coaching. At some point they have to decide who is going to get the bulk of the carries and when that back needs a break, who comes in. They should still use Hill near the goal line, but in game one they were just running them in and out like preseason. Eifert got one catch, he wasn't used right. The way Ravens were blitzing our TE had to be open. Marvin Lewis and coaches need to know that preseason is over. ....NO, we can't go to just the run every play, and I'm not impressed of how the coaches ran the RB's in and out like a preseason game, never letting any of them get in the flow of the game. YES, let me add Marvin Lewis and the Offensive Coaches stunk yesterday. POOR GAME ADJUSTMENTS, and they were no help to Dalton on the sidelines as he tried to figure it out. Marvin Lewis and the Offensive Coaches were awful and still in Preseason Mode. Ravens Harbaugh staff out coached Lewis. Coach Lewis could have been replaced by a cigar store wooden Indian, because that's how he looked on the sidelines as if still preseason. WHY DIDN'T Lewis make game adjustments to Suggs and WHY DID Ravens seem to know which plays were coming. Was Marvin so preseason offense and was still in preseason vanilla playbook. Not one game adjustment to address Suggs dominating OGG, and I blame Lewis and Zampese. Somebody needs to tell Coach Lewis that preseason is over and Thursday Nights game counts.
