We saw issues at C, RT and LG at different times during those years, but yeah, to have an entire line playing like shit at the same time is new territory for this era...and why the conversation does usually lead back there.
I do remember some of those mid to late 90's lines being pretty rough to watch as well.
While nowhere near as bad as what we've seen this year, I'd argue that the end of 2007-09, the line was pretty bad. Anytime you're having to run unbalanced sets with a FB to run the football in this league, you're bad at your job. The pass pro during those years weren't stellar either. By 2010, they were starting to regroup, by 2012, it was a good unit.
