Offense still has room to grow and concerns

He's been instrumental in getting Dalton settled and some poised has returned
Now that I've took a step back
Here's my concerns
The Browns were missing Danny Shelton and Myles Garrett.2 cornerstones if their defense.
Williams has their safeties playing 7 miles back
Yet the Bengals has issues running the ball.
3 backs gained less than 100 yds combined
Yes Dalton was able to dink dunk his way to a 146 rating
But the Browns Lbers are really bad in coverage
You can live with underneath stuff and screens for so long before defenses sit on it and compress everything
At some point the running game has to get on track and Lazor needs to dial up some vertical stuff
The Steelers will be a good test coming up
Heyward and Tuitt collaspe a pocket and they piling up sacks at a record rate
Dalton got away with 2 bad throws when the game was out of reach
But he can't be telegraphing throws

2 things;

1. Shelton is easily the most overrated defensive lineman in the league; just like BJ Raji, who was always a POS. Shelton's a bit better, but he too is very POSty.
2. Kirksey is decent in coverage and so is Collins, though the latter did not play yesterday.

Otherwise, I agree for the most part.

Regarding the dink and dunk though, Joe Montana made a living off of it and it has been working for us (very well, at that) in the past 2 games.

Andy has shown he can do the vertical fairly well, but if something is working and working well, don't shy away from it too much.
