The Facts:
Conversations about Dalton and being able to consistently throw it deep won’t subside any time soon. Dalton knows it and so does everyone else. That is why it has been a focal point during the offseason workouts.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Enquirer staffer Joe Reedy, of balls in the air 20 yards or more last season, Dalton posted the fourth-lowest rating among AFC quarterbacks at 52.9. He was 19 of 73 for 633 yards with four touchdowns and five interceptions. During the past three weeks, when position coaches have been able to work with their players, quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese and Dalton have been working on the trajectory and accuracy. They have also been working on quickening up the time Dalton drops back in the pocket along with throwing the ball a little higher on different throws. Another thing that the Bengals hope will help Dalton this season is that he has more intermediate and deep targets. A.J. Green for the past two seasons has basically been the lone deep target but Marvin Jones has potential to stretch offenses and first-round pick Tyler Eifert excels on the intermediate stuff. Seems like a lot of energy going into coaching Dalton up this offseason.
