Yep your right in 2018 he averaged 4.9 ypc but that 5 yard per carry led to a 6-10 record.
That line sucked in 2018, you are very correct. That team still was loaded with talent though. Great defensive players still in their prime.
Once this front office decided to move on from Whitt it went downhill quick.
Whitt was the leader of that unit. That unit hasn't had a leader since he left either.
Listen I really do hope that Pollack comes in and shapes up this unit up front.
However, people are acting like Pollacks a messiah, like he's a player, like he's a miracle worker.
Pollack is a coach. He can cure all ills of this football team up front. He can't keep Jonah Williams healthy and on the field. The kids played 10-32 football games, there's good reason to question his durability.
The organization question Whits ability to play tackle at Reiff's age and yet they sign an OL who's Whitts age and they hope he's able to stay healthy and play 16 games this season and then they have to figure out the C and G positions.
So again, I hope that Pollack can put it all together. I hope they can put it all together and win 11-12 games. The chances of that happening IMO are slim though.
