DCs in the NFL are fast studies.
They were too quick on the trigger to dump this guy. Meanwhile we took wayyyy too long. Either way, we'll benefit from Jerry's anger over last season's disappointment.

LMAO, you would think they just fired PA....

Maybe waiting a bit paid off for once, the right guy just came along. If you mean PA should have been dump 20 years ago, then yeah I agree with that!

Yes sir! And yeah that's what I meant about PA. It took way too long.

Dilly Dilly!!!
Got to say, Dallas is being very Bengalesque with them not canning Garrett.
Dallas's O-Line sure was great, I guess it's time to find out if it was because of their coach or because of their multiple first round investments into the line.
I will say this...Pollack is a great hire, but we still need a major infusion of talent. Dallas had plenty of talent...and valued interior linemen.
Unfortunately, Mike Brown will still have his ideas on how his money should be spent. Hopefully someone can drill it into his head that interior linemen are increasingly more important.

Nobody has said, "Yes sir" to me in awhile, seems odd now!!!
Anyway, can't wait to see what happens the first time Pollack sees Ced trying to block!!! I hope he kicks him squarely in the bunghole and says, "WTF was that"

Officer in the Military?
Yeah I read that Pollack is a stickler for technique and he looks like a stern guy. I hope Ced isn't even starting next year, honestly. I hope we let Pollack bring in some guys of his own.
I like the hire. Now we just need 3 or four legit studs up front like Dallas.

How do we know that it wasn't Paul Alexander convincing Mike that he didn't need to spend any money on interior OL? Perhaps PA was touting how he could "coach up any guy from the bottom of the draft" and that those guys are just screws in a machine, easily replaceable. (I know that sounds a bit extreme)

I just went to the Home page and saw the article on Pollack. He looks like a no-nonsense guy, along the lines of Gregg and Zim! The Cowboys have finished 2nd in rushing the last 2 years and 9th his 1st year as line coach.. Thank you Dallas!

I want Frank Ragnow Center out of Arkansas, he actually reminds me of Travis Frederick.

Yah never know, sure PA told MB all kinds of things lol

Not extreme, because I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe the talent is there but the scheme didn't fit. I've never been a lineman and don't know ins and out, but I do know lineman like it, when you just go straight ahead instead of side to side.
So guys,
Not to put a damper on the celebration here but how "official" is this? Is the ink dry on the contract or could we possibly have another Warren Sapp/Shaun Rogers ordeal here?
I'm sorry and I hate to bring it up but we all know how easy it is for this franchise to f*** up a good thing

Everything I've read suggests that the Bengals just don't place value in those positions and would rather invest elsewhere.
Of course, PA was around for 23 years and who knows what ideas he put in Mike's head. I would think that if he valued interior guys, he would've had the influence to get Mike to change somewhat. He got Mike to agree to trade up for Bodine, which is something Mike hadn't done since Ki-Jana. We'll see soon enough. Hopefully this is a whole new era for our line.

First off - YEEE HAAAA WOOT WOOT
And I'd venture to say PA knew his boss well after 1/4 century and told MB exactly what he wanted to hear. "Yes Mike I can coach up any o-linemen you bring, be cheap as you want."
Let's hope that things they be a changing round here.
