The issue of separation with our wide receivers

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.

The more I thought about this after I posted it...  the more I thought about using the RB as a receiving option in space.

This mess of a team has underutilized the RB as a legit receiving option from Palmer years to now.

Different OCs have come and gone.  What has remained?  MARVIN.

Does this mean that Marvin is poking his nose in the offense or nixing plays of this nature.

I realize that Rudi, Benson, BJGE, aren't receiving "threats" but they were not even used as check downs.

Perhaps Bernard Scott was used in this fashion.  I can't remember.

So I ask other posters.  Other than Gio recently were RBs used very much for check down options?
