If you know, fill me in. I was just happy seeing him that animated!

Love Pollack, but the truth is that our biggest weakness right now is running the ball in short yardage situations.
It seems like a small problem, but we have to get it fixed or it will eventually bite us in the ass.
If we can't get any push on short yardage runs then I have no problem throwing the ball in those situation.

To be fair Burrow was under a lot of pressure yesterday. The pick was caused by pressure.
But like you said, the Ravens are one of the best teams at getting pressure on the QB.
I was against Turner before he coached a single game here. I am very happy we replaced him with Pollack. But there is still work that needs to be done.

The pick was a bad decision by Burrow per his own statement - sometimes you gotta just throw it away.

A bad decision caused by the pressure on him.

Agree, still work to be done but I am seeing improvement. Burrow should of thrown that ball away, sure he was pressured but
there was no excuse for throwing it where there were that many defenders.

Yes there is. Pollack will continue to make these guys better.

ESPN ranks us 22nd in pass block win rate:
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32176833/2021-nfl-pass-rushing-run-stopping-blocking-leaderboard-win-rate-rankings#pbwrteam
We are 10th in run block win rate though, which is good.
Overall PFF grades:
Jonah Williams - 68.5
Quinton Spain - 75.2
Trey Hopkins - 45.3
Jackson Carmen - 44.4
Riley Reiff - 64.4
Yes, we are much improved from last year. Yes, Pollack is a good coach and is getting much more out of Spain alone. Yes it's great that Jonah is healthy, and Reiff was a good add. But there's still plenty of room for improvement.
Overall, we're middle of the pack. Trending in the right direction, but there's still work to be done. Be fair about this.

Spain has been fantastic and Carman and Jonah will only get better pretty damn sure.

I hope so. I'm not worried about Jonah at all. Spain and Reiff have also been very good.
Carman to me is still a question mark, if I may dare say so, and Hopkins has also been pretty blech. We can get by with this line though. It's most definitely improved over last year.

I'm glad Frank Pollack is our o-line coach, but I'll never stop feeling like they could have replaced Jim Turner with Andy Dick and still been better off for it. That guy was awful in practically every way.

Trey Hopkins allowed 2 sacks and 4 pressures weeks 1 & 2. In weeks 3-7 he has allowed 0 sacks 4 pressures. Hopkins has been alot better than people realize after a very rough start.
