Q&A with S BERNARD POLLARD
Q: How did the visit go in Kansas City?
BERNARD POLLARD: “It was great. I had a great time with all the guys and the coaches.“ Q: Did you feel this was going to happen? POLLARD: “No, I didn’t know.“ Q: What happened with you and the coach that led to the suspension? POLLARD: “It was a misunderstanding. Everybody was caught in the heat of the moment. I take full responsibility. I should have kept my mouth shut. It might have gone too far. I take full responsibility. I thank coach (Joe) Tiller for giving me the opportunity to play there. If I wasn’t there, I would not be here now. I am having a great time. I had a great time there and I thank them for that.“ Q: Why did you come out early? POLLARD: “I just thought it was my time to go.“ Q: What do you bring to the Chiefs? POLLARD: “I want to be a great teammate. I bring great character to the defense. I want to be a guy who wants to have fun. A guy who goes out there and play. To the veterans I am going to be a sponge. I am going to soak everything in and have fun with everybody so we can have a great year.“ Q: What safety position do you prefer? POLLARD: “I can play both. I played strong safety all career through Purdue. I will play whatever they want me to play. Greg Wesley is a great safety. I look forward to playing with him and a lot of other guys. Sammy Knight is there, a great safety. I look forward to listening to that man and moving on.“ Q: What NFL player do you compare yourself to? POLLARD: “t is a tough question because you have a lot of great safeties in the NFL. I like to play like (Dallas S) Roy Williams, (Philadelphia S) Brian Dawkins and (Washington S) Sean Taylor. Those three safeties are great. I know they take pride in their job and what they do on the field. For me to compare myself is a great thing and I don’t to disrespect those guys by comparing myself to them. I would hope my career would my career would be half as good as their careers.” Also, video of Carl, Herm, et al on the pick http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/2006/04...rnard_pollard/ |

That last question is mine, FWIW. He didn't want to answer so I let him off the hook. He answered anyway.

Was interesting watching Edwards' comments on him. I keep reading that the guy's slow, but Herm said something about 4.5 speed, and talked about how athletic he was. Sounds like it was a consensus pick, as well, with Cunningham and Gibbs both on board.

Pollard ran a 4.57. I bet Knight isn't that fast. Bernard is growing on me.

When I saw the video of him that ESPN showed I immediately thought of Thomas Davis of last year. Carl and co. were asked about that and acknowledged similiarty, although Davis is heavier and thus plays more LB than safety.
