Bengals1181 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 @SiriusXMNFL: '@Bengals OC Hue Jackson joined us earlier & said Andy Dalton needs to work on fundamentals & how to win big game. http://t.co/rQvDO1KrnS During an appearance on Sirius XM NFL Radio, Jackson said that he believes Dalton is “on the cusp of something really good,” although that isn’t going to stop Jackson from taking things back to square one with the quarterback this offseason. “The first thing I want to do with him is go back to the fundamentals that you use playing the game. From how you get under center, how you take the snap, the sense of urgency in your drop, where you put your eyes, how we’re finishing our throws, our progression,” Jackson said. “I think Andy’s going to learn that there’s a time in the National Football League where you have to say uncle and just throw the ball away. The key to quarterbacking in the National Football League number one is winning and he has that trait. Number two is being able to win the big games and obviously that’s the hump we have to get over. I think the guy has the makeup to do it.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/04/09/hue-jackson-andy-dalton-on-the-cusp-of-something-really-good/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to go on the fly and my guess is Gruden never went back to the fundamentals in years 2 and 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zins30 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hue Jackson backs Andy Dalton Updated: April 9, 2014, 11:38 AM ET By Coley Harvey | ESPN.com CINCINNATI -- Few are anticipating the return of Bengals players to Paul Brown Stadium later this month more than new offensive coordinator Hue Jackson. Perhaps Jackson's greatest task as he takes over an offense that ranked 10th last year is getting Andy Dalton to trust him, and putting the quarterback in positions where he can play his best, turnover-free football. Many outside the organization might believe it will take a miracle to get such performances out of Dalton, but Jackson does not. He thinks his quarterback is closing in on something big. "He's on the cusp of something really good," Jackson said during an interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Wednesday morning. Dalton is entering his fourth season and is looking to build upon three straight postseason appearances, each of which has ended with a first-round loss. With a 30-18 record in the regular season, the 26-year-old has shown an ability to win. His 4,293 passing yards and 33 touchdowns set single-season franchise records in 2013, and helped proved his capacity for leading an offense. Records aside, Jackson knows the most important number Bengals fans keep track of are playoff wins. They haven't seen one since 1991. "The key to being a quarterback in the National Football League No. 1 is winning, and he has that trait," Jackson said. "No. 2 is being able to win the big games. Obviously, that's the hump that we're trying to get over. "The guy has the makeup to do it. What I've got to do is just continue to push, prod, pull, motivate, support him and the rest of this offensive unit, and then we've got to pick up the pieces everywhere else to give him a chance to do his job. If we do that, this young man will be right where he needs to be." Jackson is taking over as offensive coordinator after spending the 2013 season coaching Bengals running backs. In 2010, he was the offensive coordinator in Oakland before getting promoted to head coach in '11. The Bengals signed his quarterback from those two teams, Jason Campbell, last month in part to give Dalton a veteran voice at the position that he hasn't really had throughout his career. The hallmark of Jackson's Raiders scheme was running, and he has already vowed to do more of that in his new role with the Bengals in an effort of easing the pressure on Dalton. "You have to have the threat of running the ball and the threat of being a physical unit in order to last for the duration of the season," Jackson said on the radio interview. Dalton had 20 interceptions last season. Only four quarterbacks had more. When Bengals players return April 21 for the start of their offseason strength and conditioning program, Jackson will be able to speak to his players in a more detailed fashion about what he expects from the offense this season. Once he finally gets the chance to work with Dalton, he said he plans to take the quarterback back to the basics. "The first thing I want to do with him is go back to the fundamentals that you used playing the game," Jackson said. "From how you get under center, how you take a snap to the sense of urgency and your drop [back] and where you're putting your eyes, how we're finishing our throws and our progressions. Andy's going to learn that there's a time in the National Football League when you just have to say 'Uncle' and just throw the ball away." http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10755137/andy-dalton-cusp-really-good-cincinnati-bengals-offensive-coordinator-hue-jackson-says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will try to say anything to make Andy look bad, and it actually only makes you look stupid. Agree. Every well coached team spends a portion of almost every practice simply working on fundamentals of their position with various drills even at the Pro level.

Very well could be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Harley| Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 would you endorse drafting manziel if he dropped? it could happen. if not, what would be your draft strategy regarding a QB? I'm not a manziel fan. I think he has some talent and might be successful but I wouldn't want him as the face of my franchise. I think his off-field ventures would be hard to take. I also question his commitment. I would love to get Mettenberger in the 3rd. We could let him learn slowly and possibly get him late season snaps if a game was out of reach either way. It would be a jump on a post-Dalton era if that's where we're headed. Drafting a QB in the 3rd doesn't eliminate using the first pick in 2015 on a QB if the situation warranted it.
