For as much optimism as there is regarding the Bengals’ offensive line, there’s an equivalent amount of uncertainty.
There are aspects that are objectively true and warrant legitimate buoyancy, the biggest example being Frank Pollack’s arrival and replacing Paul Alexander as offensive line coach. Pollack’s track record in Dallas under the same title was among the very best in the league and certainly more promising than the results Alexander produced of late. When Pollack became available for hire, no time was wasted in bringing him on board, and so far it seems the team’s aggressiveness in the matter has looked very wise.
