It's about athleticism and movement.

If the Bengals were running a man/gap scheme where they were driving off the LOS, I'd agree. But I'm assuming it's true that Pollack wants athletic guys who can move because he wants to run a wide zone scheme.

Okay I worded that inappropriately then. He does not show above average play strength. I was not talking schematics. Cosmi does not show natural strength in his play. D'Ante Smith at 297 displayed natural strength to go with above average athleticism.

Once you identify the defender in your zone you still need the natural strength to dispatch him.
