-Zack Martin was already a 1st Team All-Pro
-Travis Frederick was already a 2nd Team All-Pro
-Tyron Smith was already a 1st Team All-Pro
-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 has been here for the drafting of "glass eaters" of Billy Price, Jackson Carman, D'Ante Smith, and Cordell Volson. Knock away.

At what point do people stop making excuses for the guy? Right now he has Trent Brown, Ted Karras and Alex Cappa. All three helped Brady win Super Bowl rings. You also have Orlando Brown Jr who helped Mahomes win a Super Bowl. While Cordell Volson rightfully gets talked about as being subpar, he is not a horrible LG. There is enough talent on this offensive line it should be top 10 this season. Pollack has no more excuses this year.
I have been as big of a Pollack critic as anyone here. Im just telling you that I heard that he hasnt had his stamp of approval on the guys drafted. The draft was the only point I intended to make. That said, he obviously hasnt coached any of them up.
