The issue of separation with our wide receivers

We’ve see a lot lot of play calls where Andy is seen using a three step drop and throwing to covered receivers.   Other times he drops back and either nobody is open or he’s terrible at finding the open receiver because he checks down to the RB a lot more than other QBs.

Sorry. Don't agree to your check down RB statement.

Only recently have they used Gio more as a check down option.

Usually if the RB is not getting the ball either they are designed to block or predetermined passes towards the sidelines.

I'd have to say in the past using a RB beyond the LOS especially in the middle of the field was a HUGE flaw in the offensive scheme.

Gio or even Mixon in space is a good thing... even in a check down situation.

The O-Line has just sucked so bad that they keep the RB home to block more.

So no...  Dalton isn't Captain Check Down.

I think you're basing that statement on current games(where it looks to be designed)and not the whole big picture of Dalton's history.
