Frank Pollack has 13 years experience but for whatever reason the scheme that Gase employs or the lack of physical presence up front this team of hog mollies are sinking the ship which is the offense for this team...

I have to believe his involvement with the preparation and game planning is limited because he has had success not only as a player but coaching plenty of linemen over the years...

Pollack spent five seasons (2013-17) with the Cowboys, developing an offensive line regarded as one of the league’s best. Despite ranking 31st in rushing offense before his arrival, his unit paved the way for an offense that featured two league-leading rushers, DeMarco Murray (2014) and Ezekiel Elliot (2016), and averaged 4.73 yards per carry in those seasons, the best in the league. Additionally, the pass protection allowed the sixth-fewest sacks in that span.

A trio of offensive lineman achieved All-Pro status for the Cowboys under Pollack as tackle Tyron Smith, guard Zack Martin and center Travis Frederick all earned trips to four Pro Bowls each under him. Additional offensive honors his line helped achieve were an Offensive Rookie of the Year award for Dak Prescott as well as Pro Bowl selections at every offensive position, including wide receiver Dez Bryant, running backs Elliott and Murray, tight end Jason Witten and quarterbacks Prescott and Tony Romo.

Prior to his time in Dallas, Pollack oversaw the offensive line in Oakland (2012), which, despite no first-round picks among the starters, protected Carson Palmer, allowing the quarterback to throw for over 4,000 yards while also allowing the fifth-fewest sacks that season.

Pollack began his NFL coaching career with the Texans, serving as the team’s assistant offensive line coach for five seasons (2007-11). In his time with Houston, the offensive line only allowed 144 sacks, the seventh-fewest in the NFL over that span and ranked in the top 10 in rushing average in each of his final two seasons with the club (third in 2010, eight in 2011).

now just have to wonder if Gase is going to allow coaches to help him or just to continue doing things his way which as we all see is not working out...

If "fixing the hot mess" means giving up 10 sacks, otherwise looking totally outmatched and non-skilled, as well as getting our "QB" head-bounced-on the turf annihilated, then absolutely. No question.

Whatever it is, it certainly isn't working. If our O line coach is that good then the problem is 100% Gase
