And I can save you the trouble of digging up any of my old posts, I stated in the OP of my Pollack thread that I started that “he is not a miracle worker.”
But don’t worry, I’ll make sure to dig this gem of a thread up just for fun from time to time if that’s how you want to do it.
Actually, never mind, it’s pinned!
Hey, at least they changed that embarrassing thread title for you…
Ok, maybe not "just" Pollack, but people were definitely suggesting Pollack, Reiff and Carman were enough. That suggests that Pollack is a fantastic coach, capable of getting more out of players.
Which is what JJ22 is driving at. We thought Pollack would upgrade the line, but we can't assume Pollack would've made Sewell better? Hypocrisy.

But, when Hopkins goes from being your best OLman and the last position we need to upgrade on the OL to being the worst player on the OL that shows some real improvement. Sure, it could get better and it will between Carman getting more experience to Pollack's influence after more than 1 offseason but anyone who thinks our OL hasn't improved is just a moron.
Carman is the worst player on this line. If we bench him, XSF becomes the worst player on this line. Then it's Hopkins...who is worse than he was last year, due to injury most likely. I think the only reason Nicomo is highlighting Hopkins as the worst is to avoid mentioning Carman, because Team Chase pimped him all offseason.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
