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.
Well, I don't know for sure if that is the way to go about it. But there are lots of factors in why these coaches did what they
did and agree it was the complete wrong game plan. Starting Adeniji against a DL like that that uses lots of stunts was just
stupid, if that is Pollack's call it was definitely the wrong one. Also to not call Screens, rollouts or RPO's was stupid as well.
I think we our Champs if we ran some rollouts in this game. Burrow also needs to learn that those empty sets hurt the team
against a Defense like that. You need a RB back there chipping and helping out in pass protection.
Lou should have a talking to on the Kupp play that gave the Rams the lead. You need to double Kupp in that situation and
make someone else beat you. Spy him with either Hilton or a Safety. Everyone knew where the ball was going, inexcusable.
