Play Action Passing

You're counteracting your own complaints.

Maybe... just maybe, you're complaining about Dalton for the sake of complaining about Dalton.

No, I like Dalton, and I'm saying a pump fake would be more rewarding than his poor playaction fake, it's compounded by a poor running game. Andy Dalton does not pump fake, if there was such a statistic he'd probably average 1 every 8 games. When you've got rookies guarding AJ Green and they fall for his in and out fakes, it works, but it would help if Andy faked or even looked another way. In college he'd at least twist his shoulders, so there's no reason to think it's because he can't hold the ball on a pump.

A high percentage of AJ's passes are stared down, there's no progression to AJ, defenders know the ball is coming (hence tighter coverage/picks). 

Granted he barely has time to do anything (pump or even work a progression) behind that line, but even when he had a good line he rarely pumped. He's no Ben R. in that facet.

In regards to the play action fake, yeah Boomer was the best, but there are other QBs who at least complete the motion with an empty hand. I think a pump fake in that time would work better than his poorly performed playaction. You can tell he's performing it just because the play calls for it, not because he wants to do it to the best of his ability lol - he's afraid the defenders are right there.

We only need 17 points a game to make it competitive, so small things like that (not turning the ball over so much), and hitting FGs from distance matter. We need an automatic 45-50 yard FG kicker if Fat boy isn't that.
