And the FO definitely screwed Pollack by saddling him with literally the worst starting Center in the league. Hopkins should have never been counted on to be ready.
This year in particular I think the only issues have been RG and yeah...Hopkins.
I was hoping we'd replace Hop before the season when we were looking at that one center (name escapes me). But we just rolled with Hop. Carman wasn't quite ready for prime time yet.
I know people will think I'm a hater for saying it, but because Carman has shown little, we won't know what he'll bring for 2022. He could (should?) improve, but thats not a given.
Then obviously we have to resign Spain and maybe Reiff. We can get this line in good shape next year if the FO is serious about it.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
