Frank Pollack + Draft + Free Agency = Improvement
Overall I’m happy with the new offensive line personnel in Cincinnati. Would I have preferred the addition of Penei Sewell in the first round? Of course — but that’s water under the bridge.
What I believe is Frank along with Zac Taylor prioritized versatility in these new offensive linemen; most tackles can play guard as well and the new center can also play guard. This creates depth at most positions on the line and also allows for jumbo packages when needed.
While protecting Joe Burrow is very important we can’t forget about the other Joe, Joe Mixon. He has underachieved because of atrocious run blocking and this needs to change. In the AFC North the run game will always be critical especially in late season games when the weather gets bad. Frank Pollack teaches a better run blocking technique than Jim Turner so I look forward to a more balanced offense where Joe Burrow doesn’t have to throw it fifty times per game.
