Eh don't call me dude.
Pollack got fired from the Cowboys when he inherited one of the best OL's in the NFL.Sure, the Lions OL is more talented than the Bengals OL, but coaching is what puts them over the top. Fraley has always been a top OL coach.
Mims is extremely talented, the Lions don't need him though as they have Sewell at RT. I wanted Ragnow back in the day.
These are 2 great, polished OL for Fraley to work with and the rest of the guys have been coached up along with them to be this badass line
you are watching. They don't all just get drafted and become this elite OL you are watching. This is crazy talk to act like the players just come
into the NFL and become great all on their own.

I agree Ragnow and Sewell are very good but how much is raw talent and how much is coaching? im for the belief a good coach finds what works best for his players and builds off that. Not a system guy who doesnt change or adapt
It is both talent and coaching. To think it is just talent is completely ignorant to football. Some of the most talented players flare out in
the NFL all the time. You have to be smart and be able to be coached up on top of talent.

Our O-line has strength, but yeah, they are very lacking in athleticism besides Mims. Technique is also where our OL is very lacking.
This is on coaching.
