Pollard just continues to flat-out amaze me. - Page 4

**TinyEvel** · 06-25-2007, 09:40 PM

My TiVo caught NFL Replay of our game vs. the Browns, so I was watching it while doing some web browsing.

Half-way through the third quarter, Pollard recovered a fumble on a kick return.

I watched the replay in slow slo-motion. As the returner was coming toward him, Pollard was tied up by a blocker. Pollard spun to the outside, peeling off the defender and continued his spin back inside (virtually coming backwards at the returner, now facing the same direction as the returner and then came up on his back as he was slowed by Page) and then stripped the ball out from behind.

But it wasn't in his arms, it kind of floated in front of his chest as he fell, so he got it between one arm and his chest and brought his legs up as he fell. AND fought off the invading arm of a Cleveland player who was falling on top of him.

Friggin' amazing athleticism and focus. Time and time again, he brought in amazing, impossible, big plays like this last year. It's going to be awesome to watch this guy this year.

Depends on the cap hit from cutting him as well as the cap space needed for Allen and/or LJ. I just can't see the Donks giving up belly-button lint, let alone draft picks, for Wesley.

Denver did give away picks like candy this past draft...

But not to us. I don't think The Rat is overly fond of the Chiefs.

Wesley needs to be kept for now.

But put the Two 'P' on field.

I remember that hit. We where at the 810 Zone and the place went nuts. That was awesome and this team needs to have a guy that makes recievers respect the middle.

The feeling is more than mutual...

I can't wait to see our young Safeties anchor that secondary. Hopefully we'll give them some talented young Corners to work with next year.

But Teicher has already reported that their is an offer on the table for Wesley by Denver if the Chiefs are willing to agree with it. Are you saying Teicher is making that up?

No, but if it's true we'd had best be on the lookout for a run on cold weather gear. Hell might be freezing over.

Yeah but what has he done for us lately? It's been months since he contributed in a game that matters.
