For all the credit we’ve been giving the Bengals’ new offensive line coach Frank Pollack this past offseason, perhaps that praise should’ve been more equally distributed towards offensive coordinator Bill Lazor and new quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt.
Why? Because quarterback Andy Dalton is producing at a consistent level behind an offensive line that still has problems.
In a year when passing efficiency has spiked through the roof league-wide, Dalton’s 94.9 passer rating and 7.2 adjusted yards per attempt aren’t exactly earth-shattering numbers. It’s been the stability from Dalton has been the driving force behind the team’s 4-2 record entering the back-half of October.
