-Doug Free was already a good vet.
He inherited a future first ballot Hall of Famer, a guy who was on track to be a Hall of Famer if his career didn't get ended early due to medical issues (after Pollack left), and a borderline HoF candidate.... and a solidly above average vet. Give me that and I would look like a great OL coach too.
He wasn't good here in 2018, he wasn't good with the Jets after that, and he hasn't been good with us since coming back (and sure as hell our run game hasn't been good with him as run game coordinator).
He wasn't?
Mixon posted his best YPC, 8th in the league in team YPC that year and only 37 sacks given up, playing with mediocre to shitty OLineman, which was firmly in the top half of the league.
That isn't amazing, but it's more than good-enough.
