And what would have ever kept Pollard from excelling in that role
here but the idiot machinations of a lousy GM and his hand-picked stooges that coached this team?
Look at Berry - that's
exactly the kind of smart, athletic, physical safety that could have played alongside Pollard, covered ground and left Pollard in a perfect position to go out there and reek havoc over the middle.
It would've been an absolutely ideal duo in our defensive backfield. Instead we've spent 2 seasons with the glass jaw of Kendrick Lewis and his random replacements out there.
Pollard's a guy that plays an important role on most good defenses. And he'd have easily been able to play that role here.
