I bet Dalton would do the same....

I definitely am.

I don't even think it's about breaking the bank to fix the line, but rather just spending money that we have on it, which Mike Brown has always seemed to take the stance of "we don't need to have an elite line, they just need to be able to hold their own," which usually backfires and they can't even be adequate.

I think Dalton would restructure and/or take a pay cut, but I don't see Mike shelling out money to improve the line or being aggressive in free agency when this season ends.

Aside from Z and being lucky enough that Whitworth played some guard, I don't think Mike values the interior line enough to spend money on a FA center (that's where it all starts IMCO) or a high draft pick, and the same for a guard (Z was an exception and I think him leaving in FA might actually hurt Mike's willingness to do it again).

Maybe AJ calling out the line would have some influence on the situation and the front office's willingness to address the line, but can we fix it in one offseason?

Depressing time to be a Bengals fan because this dark cloud of the line blocks our light of hope.
