Ravens game, 1st quarter, 12:15, pump fake and pass to the EZ to AJ Green. Ball tipped away.
Ravens game, 2nd quarter, 13:15, pump fake left, pass to Mixon in the flat, 3 yard gain.
Ravens game, 2nd quarter, 7:32, pump fake right to Mixon, pass left to Bernard, no gain.
Since you probably don't know why a QB uses a pump fake, allow me to explain. Dalton didn't attempt any pump fakes against the Colts because they don't play the same aggressive, over-playing defense that the Ravens play. Any QB can drop back and pump fake every down but that doesn't mean it's going to be effective. Dalton has a lot of tools he uses and they're all for a purpose, not just to do it. People always yell that he locks on to one receiver all the time. Nope. He looks one way only to throw another a lot. Narratives die hard, especially when you have people that don't know what they're talking about, or they just like to parrot what someone else says because they're pissed off.
Case...closed? Nah
