In one of his final seasons with the Bengals, Paul Alexander was quoted as saying "I can't teach technique in season, that work happens in the offseason", or something along those lines.
While it's obvious that some sort of philosophical change needs to happen with the approach to blocking in the running game, we also don't know if running play style is purely of Pollack's own volition or if it's dictated by the HC and OC perhaps saying "we want the running game to flow to the edges, make it happen".
I highly doubt that because they have changed the style mid-way through the year. Who knows though.
I think this off-season you will see Pollack and Mixon let go. It's sad because Mixon seems like a great locker room guy - but those are two changes that can have a huge impact on this offense.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy
