I hope he finally proves me wrong.

He was working with absolute trash until this season, and lo and behold once they started to gel they were actually playing well. Rfaulk has posted the numbers here multiple times, there was a long stretch during the 10 game winning streak where they were only giving up about 2 sacks per game. There. Was. Improvement. The run game was inconsistent, but that’s another thing that far predates Pollack’s time here.

Look, we probably would have gone to back-to-back Super Bowls had 3 starters on the OL not gone down at the end of the season. You don’t replace a coach that helped win consecutive division titles and got to consecutive AFCCG. Especially with a patchwork OL.

We’re thankfully returning our entire coaching staff, and that’s a very good thing.
