Our offensive line play

Our O-line is better partly because of the addition of Glenn and Price (and maybe even Hart), and the Cowboys O-line struggled last year even with all of that talent.

Pollack is our coach and I support him 100%, but it is not like he has shown up and worked magic.

I like your balanced view.  Alexander had a very good reputation.   And sometimes change - any change - is what's needed.

But I really like the focus on conditioning, the new drills and the change in emphasis on a more aggressive technique that Pollack has brought.   And while I see the value in letting Redmond settle in and hopefully grow into the position, I was disappointed that Westerman was not given a concerted opportunity to perform at right guard, and I was mystified by Marvin's apparent negative view of him during the pre-season.

I truly hope that the line continues to improve, and that Glenn is more dealing with an injury than is not as good as we expected.
