Biggs: Chiefs exploring trade options with Pollard

Move would create opening for Mike Brown in lineup

The Kansas City Chiefs are exploring options to trade strong safety Bernard Pollard, a move that would create an opening for veteran Mike Brown to move into the starting lineup, sources said.

The 24-year-old Pollard, a fourth-year pro from Purdue, has made 31 starts the last two seasons. He had 98 tackles and one interception last season. But Brown was signed in late June to push both Pollard and free safety Jarrad Page.

“The defensive backfield as a whole, I think, there’s excellent competition,’’ Haley said late last month when asked if Brown had pushed Pollard for the job. “I don’t think there’s anybody who feels real comfortable. Mike’s one of the reasons for that but I think that’s the way it is across the board there. Those guys know there is somebody right behind them that could be playing just as well as them. That’s how you get your team good.”

Brown spent the last nine seasons with the Chicago Bears but has been injury plagued since 2004. He held it together to start 15 games last season, but had to leave three games early down the stretch with a recurring calf muscle pull and finally missed the finale. He is an instinctive player and made 101 tackles last season, the third-highest total in his career.

Did Zach join the team so he could prepare to race in the Tour de France?

He may show more "stats" this year since they moved him over to FS to let him show his natural gifts a little more.

I agree with these statements. Maybe by the end of the year he ends up becoming a playmaker.

Don't laugh; I learned from Nick Athan a few minutes ago that Thomas just landed a sweet endorsement deal with Huffy.

You're overrating what Whitner has been to this point in his career.

For the record, the 4 picks following Whitner were

Ernie Simms
Leinart
Cutler
Ngata

2/4, Ernie Sims was also overdrafted.

This was prophesied months in advance:

Actually just a moment is that when Gregg Williams was still their coach?

If so that explains why Ngata wasn't their pick, he got rid of Pat Williams cause "he was to fat" and didn't like "fat guys".

Isn't that kind of like saying Matt Shaub misses games, Brett Farve does not and our O line needs some help? Pretty likely and generally obvious statements.

Oh hell, let him carry on. He's just setting himself up for the Greatest Massive Has-Been Running Back FAIL in the history of the NFL.

I actually think LJ will have a decent season. He should be well rested after the last 2 seasons and we should be running the ball a lot.

booger · 09-04-2009, 07:26 PM

I don't know NE's safety situation but i wouldn't be suprised on them taking a flyer on BP because of his special teams ability, punt blocking especially.

CoMoChief · 09-04-2009, 07:26 PM

Just watched some Priest Holmes highlights on Youtube.

god we used to run the ball at ****ing will back then. Take MIN running game now and times that by3 and thats what we used to have.

We gave up a lot of points then.....but you would always know we could at least get back into games with our offense. Now we get down 10 its game over. Then we get down 10 we could tie the game in 5 min.

New England has Meriweather and Sanders starting, drafted Chung in the second round this season, and will probably have McGowan (former Bear) as the 3rd or 4th safety, depending on where he and Chung get slotted.
