Reports all over the league were that Dalton was getting very good at pre-snap reads, etc. Now, as you noted, we don't do that. I wonder what the difference is? New receivers? Line issues? QB regression? Bad coaching?
Just a theory, but maybe Marv is very controlling when it comes to the offense?
It seems Hue was the only one with a backbone and therefore had more control of his own offense than Marv typically allows.
Every other OC only allowed minimal control at the line...even Brat with Palmer.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
