You wanted Ross to (or insinuated that he did not) "step up" in light of Green's injury.  I explained that the WRs are impacted every bit as much as the QB by poor line play as the QB can't hold the ball and let routes develop (number one problem with our offense last year).  Ross started off really well, against some good defenses, but the Bengal's line struggled as teams adapted and everyone on the offense suffered for it. 

Dalton had his absolute worst year as a pro.  You think he really is that bad or his line play was that awful?  If Dalton couldn't overcome the line, how was Ross supposed to do it?  Help the offensive line block?
