Andy Dalton is really good

If an offensive lineman does not stay engaged or push, then there can be problems. We saw defenders jump but yet our offensive lineman stayed put instead of pushing them while they had leverage.

And also, some passes defended were also good defensive plays. It's not always someone's fault on offense, sometimes the defense makes a good play.

More players are the reason for those batted balls. Dalton is a part of it, but not solely on him.

Also, he really isn't the king of batted balls. He actually rarely gets balls batted down. Not sure why people think this outside of last week's game.

Has anyone else noticed how that was never a problem with our past offensive lines?

Bro, I've already explained the lineman's responsibility in that.....good luck.

Also, good point about a defender just making a good play.  I didn't address that.
