You seem to believe that a couple months is enough to make up for 2 years of poor coaching. Nevermind the fact that the Seattle game was clearly an example of a kid caught in the middle.

He was still working on trying to incorporate his hitter's instinct with the new scheme/technique. You could see how tentative he was in that game - he simply wasn't comfortable.

But hey, why give a 24 year old kid a little time to iron out the kinks when you can just cut him for Mike !@#$ing Brown?

You're absolutely wrong here. You are spinning in circles trying to defend the indefensible. Bernard Pollard has always been coachable, has always been talented and has always had a desire to crack some skulls. In Texas he's been coached better, placed in a better scheme (similar to one he'd see here, BTW) and his coaches have expressed confidence in him.

THAT'S why he's flourishing. There's no reason he couldn't have received the same things here; there's no reason we couldn't be getting above average SS play from a 25 year old. Instead we're getting arguably the worst SS play in the NFL from some dusty, broke-dick croney.

He didn't need to be cut, he needed to be taught.

In that sense, I guess you're right - he wouldn't be better here than he was, but only because Todd Haley can't coach anyone up for shit. Pollard would've progressed under Haley about like Bowe, Johnson, Albert, Cassel, Page, Flowers, Carr, etc... have.

He may not have progressed, but that's an indictment on the overmatched cockholster of a head coach we have, not Bernard Pollard.
