Also, didn't Jerry Jones fire his ass because the Cowboy's line declined once he was promoted from asst OL coach in the 3years he was there in 2015 thru 2017? And if he's coming from the Jets, that's not a bright spot either. They sucked worse than us this year.
So, why are we excited about this? Because Joe Mixon is? I call BULLSHIT!
The line performed rather well in 2018, actually. The Bengals only averaged 105 YPG rushing(21st), but they averaged 4.7 yards per carry (8th in the league). They also gave up 37 sacks, which was 13th. That is pretty impressive for a line that was made up of Cordy Glenn, Boling, Billy Price, Alex Redmond and Bobby Hart. Obviously, Billy got hurt and Hopkins stepped in, but he still started 10 games. Redmond started 15 games. Hart started all 16.
Pollack was working with a talent deficit from C to RT and got solid results. I am pleased with this hire.
