Jackson Carman At Bottom Of Depth Chart

Sometimes I think some of us don't grasp just how bad a coach Turner was. Not only was he a **** in attitude terms but he pushed defective techniques on the young linemen and didn't teach. Little wonder that last season the big issue on the line was missing stunts and blitzes and misdiagnosing. It's also why the line suddenly improved when XSF and Spain were both in - neither one was "taught" by Turner.

As a result, Pollack when he came in has had to in essence retrain the linemen from the ground up. Fix the footwork, fix the balance, the set, hand work and also get them playing like a unit. It's actually surprising he has them looking this improved this fast. Just like it has been a treat to watch Smith, Carman, Prince and Hill come along like they have.
