We'll see!

Good stuff, the O-line just has to gain that chemistry together than the Backs can eat up the yards. Timing is big and
as Mixon is saying it is 11 guys out there and just have to execute. We will see in Indy if they start to really get the
timing down on their pulls or if they want to line up in less complicated run blocking assignments like we did late last
year. It is early and for people to think it was just going to come together immediately against very good run stopping
Defenses in Preseason i think were kidding themselves.
It should take time, just happy Dalton has a pocket to step into and the pass protection is not the problem.
If it was the other way and we were blocking well in the run game and Dalton was hit on nearly every play i would be
much more concerned.
