Without a doubt i think we've seen instances of Dalton becoming "lized" over the past 2 seasons with the accumulation being the toss out of bounds on 4th down last year. He seemed to bounce back the last 2 games when he started getting better protection.
And then this year he played 2015 levels until the Stealers game but after that seemed to sink back into a funk due to shitty protection again and most likely the misuse of Mixon amongst other uninspired play calling that didn't account for the lines short comings. Bill didn't do him any favors and a lot of time receivers just weren't getting open in the 2 seconds they had to do so. This is where Gio and Mixon possibly could have opened things up and both should have been used at the same time.
Just so many possibilities with both in the backfield. Is it going to be a hand off to Gio or Mixon - Is it going to be a screen to Mixon or Gio. Really keeps defenses guessing i would imagine and then it gives more time for the receivers.
Like Boomer, Pickens, Corey, Chad, Carson before him he may be officially "lized"
