Yeah, as much as I'd like to just brush this off as typical media hating on the Bengals we can't expect them to like an o-line that was god-awful and then lost the only 2 players on it that anyone knew.  Last years off-season was full of "addition by subtraction" optimism and we got a grand total of 6 wins to show for it.  Huzzah.

Basically, I ran this scenario through my "What would I say if the Steelers did this" filter and I've concluded that IF Pig Ben spent most of the season on his back last year because his o-line stunk and then two of his less terrible o-linemen went elsewhere I'd be laughing at his imminent demise...not praising the Steelers for their shrewd salary maneuvering. 

I haven't checked the Bengals' cap yet.  Are we up against it?  If we aren't then I doubt we're going to be singing the praises of saving money by letting Zietler walk every time Dalton gets demolished.  Time will tell.
