If I were in charge of the Bengals today

For Pollack I would literally challenge him to explain why he should be retained on staff given the line performance. I'm not going in pre-decided to can him but if the answers are not good ones he's gone right then and there. After that it would be a review of all prospective Free Agents to start the process of identifying targets NOT BASED ON MONEY but based on who they believe will best fit the system and do it well.

For Taylor I would blast him good over doing absolutely nothing to defang the pass rush. One screen? No rollouts? No RPO concepts? Then he gets his extension but also gets removed from play calling and the job search starts for a REAL offensive coordinator.

Then I personally call Burrow and tell him not to worry - the blocking was unacceptable and no matter what it takes the line is getting fixed.

That's Day One.

You give a good sculptor a pile of clay and maybe he can create a masterpiece.

You give a good o line coach a pile of steaming dung and there’s only so much he can do.

Not having Reiff available sucked. We can, and have debated the carman pick ad nauseum. The same with not signing a big time o line free agent last year.

To put this all on pollack is lunacy. Would you prefer we bring back Jim turner??
