He's now in Year 3, and I don't really see the OL improved much at all from when Turner was the OL coach.

Here were the Sacks Allowed counts since 2018, which was Pollack's first stint with the Bengals.

2018 - 37
2019 - 48
2020 - 48
2021 - 55
2022 - 44

Pollack's average over 2 years is 49.5 sacks per season.
Turner's is 48.

By no means am I clamoring for Turner to come back (he was trash), but this has to be Pollack's last opportunity to turn things around.
He's not getting it done in the run game or pass game.
If he keeps this pace though of "just" 2 sacks per game allowed based on the Browns game, that will end up around 35 sacks in the regular season, which would be the fewest by far in the Taylor era.

The Bengals have a weird way of wanting us to want the guy they just fired back.

When Turner was here, they couldn't run the ball. At all. Like none. And I remember when the offensive coaches changed the blocking scheme and it worked. And there was a narrative that Pollack could figure out how to run with a bad line.

Now Pollack is here and people want Turner back.
