Some interesting stats about Dalton and our pass offense

[The Caped Crusader]

The only receiver outside of AJ that Dalton has had to create separation is Marvin Jones. He just runs great routes, and has great explosion coming from his release. It's why Dalton's production continued, even with AJ out.

LaFell lacks explosion, especially going against starting corners. The only way they get him open is crossing routes, which good teams (primarily the Steelers and Ravens, with their zone defenses) have nullified with dropping linebackers over the middle. We saw it a few times against Jacksonville (and it led to Dalton doing that panicked, ball pumping motion he does).

I was hoping Ross would be that. Ross shows that explosion from his routes that we need. We just have to use him.
