Fire Frank Pollack into the goddamn sun…Glass Eaters? More like Shattered Glass
21 comments
Been beating the drum against Volson all season, I don’t understand how he has so many supporters here but the dude is flat out bad.
Volson has not improved, he has actually regressed
So we’re drafting a guard along with a defensive end, defensive tackle, safety, corner, and probably kicker. Got it.
I’ll go one step forward. I’m in favor of almost all positional coaches getting fired. The lack of development of cbs, oline and dline has doomed this team.
I officially stopped supporting Volson.. I realize now that he’s bad…
Cue christhegecko coming in here and saying why pollack isn’t the issue
Interesting how the OL we’ve signed/drafted haven’t improved at all and actually seem to have regressed. Frank Pollack is a bum
Didn’t wanna pay thuney, also Jonah Williams over Chris Lindstorm, Carman over Creed H. This is despite all those players that weren’t picked were clearly the best athletic talent available. There was no question about it
Bad drafts can really set back a team.
We gotta build the trenches on both sides of the ball. It looks like we have our bookends at LT and RT. We have the skill players but you live and die by the trenches in this league.
we’ve had a bad offensive line for too long. Pollack has to be gone this offseason
Volson sucks. He makes the center and LTs job that much harder because they constantly have to help
You can fire Pollock but what coach can get more out of Cappa and Volson? Karras is below avg as well. He’s beloved by fans but he’s not very good.
And Burrow is a pocket QB on an MVP season with this o line. It’s so depressing that we’re wasting him, he would be a fucking legend of the game on a competent team.
Let Higgins walk. Release Hubbard, Sheldon Rankins, Geno Stone, Zak Moss and Cappa. Raising cap space from 65mil to 104mil.
Sign Trey Smith to 4yr 76mil deal and Zeitler to 2yr 13mil deal. Trey Smith 14mil cap hit in 2025, Zeitler 8mil. Leaving 82mil in cap space.
Sign a defensive tackle, defensive end and Safety for combined 28mil. Leaving 54mil in cap space.
Spend 20mil filling out the roster. Of the 34mil left extend Trey 2 more years at 22mil a year, give him 14mil more next in 2025, leaving his cap hit at 15mil each year of the extension.
Sign Chase, use the remaining 20mil as extra for 2025 and that takes 5mil off his cap hit each year of the 4yr extension.
Volson and Cappa are both serviceable backups, but the heart of the problem is absolutely Pollack. The players continually regress year over year under him. We went from the worst line in Paul Alexander and replaced him with the worst line coach in Pollack.
It also doesn’t help that the play calling is incredibly predictable. The entire coaching staff really needs to be replaced next year.
I don’t think it’s a a problem of talent, but of 2 different issues:
1 is play calling. If all you do is pass then the defense doesn’t have to guess and can just go full pass rush all the time.
2 is blocking scheme/coaching. Pollack is garbage and the only reason any lineman has made strides is that they have put in work in the off-season to be able to be put on an island (ObJr this year)
Jonah Williams and Cordell Volson were much better with less time around Pollack (check their first years) Volson showed a ton of promise in his rookie year, but has regressed significantly since entering the league. So what’s the deal? Could be coincidence and they just never progressed naturally and the defense found their weakness…. or what’s more likely is that Pollack is actively impeding their progress by having bad blocking schemes and not doing a good enough job of correcting their mistakes.
I’m rooting for Volson because I saw what he could do in his rookie year, but its obvious that something has fallen off and the common demonitor for all these linemen is Frank Pollack and Zac Taylor. Mims will be the next victim if we don’t do something soon.
They are worse than they were 2 years ago. Idk how but they are. Joe has less than 3 secs every snap.
It’s year 4 of Pollack. At a certain point, it’s not about “your guys”, the system isn’t working. Whether you are struggling developing, game planning, or drafting, it has to change.
Frank Pollack still hanging around is the surest sign of deep organizational rot and incompetence. If I was Joes agent I would’ve been making a HUGE stink about Pollack still being around through whatever channels available
This very sub has downvoted me numerous times over volsen telling me he’s developing and was on the upswing last year. It’s easy to trend up when you are fucking rock bottom. He’s not an nfl starter
Why blame Pollack?
We’ve known Volson was bad for years. Cappa was bad last year. And what did the Bengals do to draft or sign better guards? nothing. Bengals management sat back and did nothing the past few years while Burrow keep taking the punishment for their incompetence.
And as bad as those two are playing, Ford and Mims are not play much better. Virtually the whole line needs to be replaced. OBJ coming back helps.
Now you see why the Bengals are looking at years of losing records. They are devoid of talent across the defense, and devoid of talent across the offensive line. By the time they finally fix the OL, Burrow will be gone.
