Early kudos to the o-line

One thing to remember is how changed the  line is from last year, both in personnel and performance.  And pretty much the whole preseason was spent shuffling guys around and not developing cohesiveness.   They have been doing this on the fly.  I think they are just getting started.

Absolutely.  The staggering thing to recognize is they are throwing up 30-burgers like it is nothing and they really haven't clicked with Ross yet.  They haven't had the huge game from Mixon yet.  Gio was awesome against Atlanta.  The screen game is just starting to click.  It has largely been the ability to run the ball when needed and getting decent, positive yards, putting Dalton in 2nd and 5 or 3rd and 2 instead of 2nd and 9, 3rd and 8 like a year ago.

As the offensive line gets healthy (Price) and continues to play together, they will continue to work on and improve their shortcomings.  Most importantly, thus far, is that they have kept Dalton relatively clean and he is playing very confident right now.  

Get even more cohesiveness out of the offensive line, get the rushing attack going (Walton, too!) and this offense will only get better.

Now, about that defense....
