I'm saying that we ask coaches all the time to turn chicken **** into chicken salad and for all the talk of how great he was he has not done that at all. His entire reputation is built around what the Dallas O Line did but he had 3 first round picks on that line and potentially 3 hall of famers. The whole Mixon argument is as much about the scheme ZT wanted ran, which we have abandoned the last couple weeks with positive results, versus anything an O line coach is doing. Our pass protection last year was bad just like it is this year, so it's disingenuous to give Pollock credit for Mixon's running without ripping him for the horrible pass protection. If you go by football outsiders our line is basically ranked the same this year from last year in pass protection, only difference is this year the personnel is far worse.
Sorry, it's just a pet peeve of mine. It is like Adam Gase who's whole career is built around him being Peyton Manning's QB coach, like so what anyone could have done that job.
