2018 - 75.6
2019 - 71.2
2020 - 44.8 (under Jim Turner)
His grades incrementally went down but that could be attributed to playing in more games each season and the drop in 2019 could have to do with moving to a new team when he went to Buffalo.
I really believe we see a different Spain under Frank Pollack.
Frank Pollack - 2015 Cowboys offensive line ranking - #1
2016 Cowboys offensive line ranking - #2
2017 Cowboys offensive line ranking - #4(after losing their LG and RT and injury to their LT)
2018 Bengals offensive line ranking - #27 (28th the previous season and Dallas dropped to 14th)
In 2019 the Bengals dropped to 30th in the league and in 2020 they remained at 30th.
Nice spin, why don't you include Pollack's more recent outing and the Jets OL rankings from last year? One of the worst in the NFL. Absolutely horrible, they gave up the most QB pressures in 2020 under Pollack.
My point? He isn't going to wave a magic wand and fix a line with sub par players, not going to happen. In Dallas he coached up a pro bowl caliber line that was already put together well with chemistry under Bill Callahan. He just continued what he already established.
The Bengals had the opportunity to get some solid starting day one players this offseason with draft and FA, and they blew it.
It is going to be a disagreement till the season starts, but I am in no way convinced the worst part of this team wasn't properly addressed this offseason.
