For those of us who love play in the trenches, hearing Ryan Poles’ press conference when he was hired was music to the ears. He stressed how he wanted to build the offensive and defensive lines and build back from there.
Ryan Pace largely ignored the offensive line. Utilizing only mid-level free agent acquisitions, never spending a first-round pick and only spending four day two picks on offensive linemen (yes, I remember you, Hroniss Grasu) over his entire tenure, it was frustrating never seeing the offensive line get enough focus.
But Poles said it would be a priority.
