2 the line looked better, but definitely not where we want it to be, as I have stated.
3 you have to consider that the first preseason game was their first time playing against players other than their own teammates, which is what they're used to. You don't think Pollack has studied that film up and down to find out what his line's problems were, along with their strengths, and do you not think he has shown them and is working his ass off to get them to fix those problems?
I just thought of that last part, but it might be the biggest thing that I think Pollack will do here: notice weaknesses and work with players to improve them (and also move players if need-be). That was a big weakness of PA (imco) and we all know it has been a weakness of Marvin, and that's a failure to notice a problem and work to fix it or adapt to new situations/needs.
That whole point about it being the first time they've faced new competition under Pollack does give me a bit of optimism that we will see the line perform better (perhaps a lot better, or maybe just a bit better each week of the preseason).
Circleville is always astonished by the way tons of us like Pollack.
If you don't look at the guy that was here before i guess it is perplexing.
But if you look at what PA did the last couple of years and what Pollack did the last couple of years it is anything but...
