Time to give some props to Frank Pollack

Remember the OL was out of sync for the first 2-4 games because they had literally never played even a down together prior to opening day. You can see in the games where they started to gain the needed familiarity with each other. Also, all five of our starters are basically maulers and for a while we were wedded to wide zone. Then the coaches finally switched to gap and the run game productivity shot up immediately.

This line is FAR better than last season's unit. It needed time playing together to gel and to be using a blocking scheme that fit the strengths of the linemen.
