I don't predict outcomes, but I will predict a slightly better showing from the offensive line.
I believe a decent portion of the struggles we saw last week with the line and the running game fall back to all of the accolades Dalton gets for being a great pre snap quarterback. Checking at the line, reading defenses, rotating protections, changing the plays, etc... Add in the quick drop, read, and throw of Dalton's, and I think he covers up some of the weaknesses of this line.
This is what Andy is known for, and something a guy in his first start just can't do.
I expect the line to get better as they take more of those responsibilities upon themselves, but we're going to see a drop off for sure.
Lucky for AJM, he's going to have Andy by his side helping with in game adjustments.
The Bengals can win this, but the defense is going to have to play great football. :)
