Go back and watch the game at Washington.
Add Dak and Pitts to Dallas and tell me it makes a difference in the outcome.
You can add Winslow Sr. also and Dallas still gets smoked.
I respectfully disagree here. No one can convince me that having a tight end whom you can dump the ball to on a hot route and then watch him take it 80 yards doesn't slow down the aggressiveness of the defense. Likewise so does having a QB who can take off and burn you. The WFTs came after Dalton with impunity because they knew he could not hurt them by getting out of the pocket and they weren't worried about what our tight ends might do if they left them clean over the middle. On the Cowboys very first drive on 1st and 10 they blitzed #54 and left a safety on Blake Bell who beat him by half a step. Replace Bell with Pitts and it's a 85 yard TD because all Dalton would have needed to do was lay it out for Pitts to run under it and there was no help over the top. As it was Dalton tried to dump it off the Lamb and it was incomplete. The next play he fumbles for a safety.. That's a 9 point swing right there if Dak and Pitts are in that game. 16 if you count the TD Washington scored on the ensuing short field after the free kick.
