Pollack was Mike Brown’s choice after Zac whiffed with his…Jim Turner. Pollack strikes me as a motivator not a schemer. Zac needs a run game schemer. It seems the linemen we have been drafting and acquiring in free agency don’t fit the same scheme. Mixon didn’t fit what we were doing. Chase hits the hole faster maybe it suits him better. But drafting Volsen and not moving away from him and some other decisions have handicapped this team. Right now our guard play is awful.

My ideal OL has two new faces at IOL next year.
One of those might be Matt Lee if he can show well enough the rest of this season or through preseason next year.
I want at least one IOL added early in the draft and/or in FA that can be a plug-and-play starter.


In an ideal world, Cappa is cut and that saved space is put towards a new starting IOL in FA. Someone like James Daniels.
I'd also look to supplement that with a cheaper veteran on the other side with someone like Dalton Risner.
Risner has been playing very well for his cost through his whole career, making no more than $4 mill a year. He's also started at both OG spots in the NFL, so he would be a great budget signing.
And then get an early or mid round draft pick to groom behind the vets.
