Among available options, the Cincinnati Bengals couldn’t have hired a better offensive line coach than Frank Pollack. The universal praise they’re receiving for rehiring Pollack combined with his already well-known track record speaks for itself.
But as Matt Minich pointed out in his latest film review of Pollack’s blocking scheme, a coaching change can’t be the only true change at that position group.
In 2018, Pollack’s first and only season with the Bengals, the offensive line was almost completely redone from the previous year. Cordy Glenn was traded for to start at left tackle, Billy Price was drafted to start at center, and Bobby Hart was signed as a low-cost free agent and emerged as the “best” right tackle battle like Alex Redmond did at right guard.
