Football Bonecrusher Pollard, Wrecker of Patriots - Page 3

Impressive, impressive run.

Quote:

The Sean Taylor Memorial Meast for Championship Sunday is Bernard Pollard. We’re not celebrating the fact that he crippled Stevan Ridley to cause a game-clinching fumble so much as Bonecrusher Pollard’s continued legacy as the Greatriots’ most celebrated villain. It is only fitting on this, Patriots Schadenfreude Day. Only once since 2008 has Pollard not in some way had a hand in the Patriots’ downfall. In 2008, he mangled Brady’s knee. In 2009, he took out Welker. He took off 2010 to chill, but he was back in 2011 to mess up Gronk’s knee for the Super Bowl. Yesterday was just the latest in a fantastic campaign of malevolence perpetrated against New England.

No doubt he can hit like a truck.. He sucked in coverage and missed tackles.

Greg Wesley shit all over Pollard's play. And he could lay the wood too.

KChiefer · 01-21-2013, 02:05 PM

You know, I'm not totally buying that if Pollard doesn't hit Brady's knee, Cassel never comes here. Sure, Cassel's time as a starter helped justify it, but we all know Fat Snot wanted who he wanted. Matt Flynn played all of what one/two games and would have been a starter if not for Russel Wilson being a ripe rookie.

As far as Pollard going on to better things, what Chief hasn't? It's a bit of a crap shoot, but if you're hedging bets, any player that leaves the Chiefs will enjoy more success elsewhere.

Ed Reed and Ray Lewis are having the worst years of their careers.

how about better coaching and a scheme change that uses Bernie's skills much better being the reason he was the #1 vote getting at SS this year for the Pro Bowl, and plays like it? Ever think of that? That when Bernie was here we had to the shittiest coaches and GMs and him landing on a real organization was the benefiting factor? It would be the same for Eric Berry, Brandon Flowers, Dwanye Bowe, etc. They go to a good team, their play will be improved and recognized.

Scheme has nothing to do with the fact that he was a poor tackler that took bad angles.

No but coaching does.

**OnTheWarpath58** · 01-21-2013, 03:29 PM

Oh noes, a young player took bad angles and didn't always wrap up.

It's not at all possible he might get better with some experience and better coaching.

stevieray · 01-21-2013, 03:41 PM

eh, it was an illegal hit. he'll prolly pay a fine.

that said, itd be nice if he were still here.

Yes, and I said as much earlier.

PaulAllen · 01-21-2013, 04:09 PM

Pollard got a bad rap while he was here. He was being coached by Gunther for crying out loud.

And even if you thought he was a liability he was still one of the best special team players in the league. More Scott fail.

that's funny seeing how i just spent all season reading on this forum about how scheme and coaching is 95 percent of the problem with the Chiefs offense and defense.

but it's not when it's another player on another team. got it.

Scheme still has nothing to do with tackling technique.

Dude was a flying missile yesterday.

Dave · 01-21-2013, 04:25 PM

Actually, Pollard's tackle on that hit was atrocious.

Ridley went down because he was unconscious.

Pollard is better than Kendrick Lewis, I guess.
