Part of that is the players screw ups, and another part of the problem was the coaching wasn't having them prepared to carry out the plan. For an OL, it's tough to be aggressive when the entire unit is playing to separate sheets of music.
It was embarrassing. It seemed like the RG couldn't pick up a stunt to save their lives no matter who we lined up there. I realize they had to play a lot of different OL combinations because of injuries and other factors, but I don't think I've ever seen an NFL OL be that bad with assignment errors. If it's 1-2 guys, it's a player problem. If it's everybody, it's a coaching problem.
I'm not as high on Pollack as a coach as some. That said, if he can just get everyone blocking who they're supposed to block on a consistent basis, it will be a drastic improvement.
