Hey, I have ALWAYS been objective with Bernard Pollard. He was NOT a good player in Kansas City. He had the lowest stop rate against the run of any KC starter last year. He had a SHITTY 08, had a garbage preseason, and cutting him was ABSOLUTELY the right thing to do.
You cannot stick with a guy who has a history of being a lousy tackler and then does nothing to prove otherwise. The cut was justified.

if a team cuts their rushing yardage allowed over a stretch of 4 games by 75% and drops their yard/carry by two whole yards, you have to credit the catalyst.

The catalyst may or may not be BP. Looking at stats doesn't even begin to tell the whole story here.

Sorry man, but I think you may have had another swing and miss here.

Whatever. The Chiefs didn't have him playing Cover 2 this preseason and he was still missing tackles.
I didn't swing and miss on anything in regards to Pollard while he was a Chief. He DESERVED to get dumped.
