They weren't Dallas level in terms of being the best OL or opening holes in the run game but they were a pretty good unit. Bengals fans are still holding onto hope that Dalton will return to 2015 form but downplay that the OL was good? Has Dalton not been inconsistent and played some of his worst football since the O-line fell apart? He hasn't been bad by any means, he's risen above it more than most people give him credit for but that doesn't change the fact. In order for 2015 Dalton to happen again, you need a 2015 o-line. Too bad the Bengals allowed the key pieces to leave and they've been paying for it since.
