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.
To whom are you referring here? And yes, they moved on from Whit. Kind of had to since they had used two high picks on OTs. They were busts.
I didn't call Pollack a Messiah. Jesus, do you overreact much? I said that Mixon was excited about the Chase pick and he tweeted about it. Just like he did Pollack. I think Mixon is a VERY important ingredient to a successful season. And all this pissing and moaning about not getting the tackle in Rd 1 without watching the rest of the draft is like acting like a four year old.
