The problem is turnstiles at the tackle position. Firing Pollack and bring anyone else in will not matter when your tackles can't slow EDs down.
Cover 2 doesn't matter now that Burrow knows he can't just go out there and fling it deep every other down. Pick at the defense and then hit them when they go man.
There are two massive problems with this team right now and those are 1. Bad tackles when facing good EDs and 2. Joe Mixon and his inability to gain any semblance of yards or pass block at an even average level.
Spot on with everything here. Our Division has really good Ends besides the Ravens and Jonah mostly and La'el have
been bad against the AFCN Ends. Mixon has been bad this season and he needs to be benched or at the very least take
away a ton of snaps and give them to Perine and Evans. The good thing in my eyes is that both Jonah and La'el can play
better and we have film of the first games against our divisional foes and we can adjust, have to damn it.
If Jonah doesn't get better bench him and roll with the best backup at LT.

Those check downs to the RB usually have been the correct decision, since the defense plays back so much, nobody is open. If Mixon makes a man miss, that changes those 1-yard plays to 8-10 yard plays. Mixon is killing us this year. The tackles just compound it because he has to continue to get rid of the ball quick because they can't slow down the pass rush.
All true. Always liked Mixon and defended him but not this season.

Yes Bengaloo, Jonah is the problem, still think he is injured to be as bad as he was Monday night but still.
This is what is hurting us and something needs to be addressed here.
