I never understood cutting Pollard. He's not a bad kid like LJ. He's a hard worker. And it's not like the Chiefs got a major upgrade in Mike Brown. This cut bothered me the most because this seemed to me to be purely due to trying to get rid of the previous regime's players.
I always said that Pollard was asked to do a ton more than any safety because he played in a cover 2 for one, he played in a cover 2 that couldn't rush the passer (double whammy), and in run D, RBs too often made it to the second level untouched. Your safety shouldn't be asked to make tackles on a RB as often as Pollard and Page were last year.
I liked Page a lot more than Pollard. The more I watch Page the more I realize I was wrong. I think Pollard was a much better piece to the puzzle than Page is.
