On Ugoh and Pollack

Kuharsky wonders if changes help two underperformers

So ask about two young offensive linemen trying to get back into the lineup, Tony Ugoh and Mike Pollack, and he offers only this:

“Thus far OK,” Polian said. “We’re not playing now. There is a tendency in the parallel universe to want to judge everybody. The first thing I tell the coaches is, ‘Don’t make any judgments until after the first two weeks of training camp, it’s not fair to the players.’ So thus far, they’ve had good offseasons. But that’s all they are. We’ll see.”

The line could be just one man different than last season’s, with guard Ryan Lilja gone, or there could be a bigger shakeup. Long-time position coach Howard Mudd retired and Pete Metzelaars has taken over.
