Pollard didnt like being cursed out.
Bernard Pollard didn't like Chiefs' coaches' cursing
Posted by Michael David Smith on November 8, 2009 9:17 AM ET Texans safety Bernard Pollard started all 16 games for the Chiefs in 2008, but he ended up in Houston after Kansas City cut him just before the start of the 2009 season. Pollard describes getting cut by the Chiefs as a shock, but he says he thinks he knows what the problem was: He wouldn't put up with new coach Todd Haley and his staff cursing him out. "With professional athletes, you're dealing with grown men. You're not dealing with boys," Pollard tells the Journal Gazette. "You're not in a locker room with sophomores in high school. You're dealing with grown men with families. I have a wife. I have a son. And I have a daughter on the way. I'm not going to sit there and let you curse me out when you feel like cursing me out or talk to me any way you want to talk to me, and you just want me to sit and take it and say, 'Yes, coach.'" As ArrowheadPride.com notes, Pollard had a shouting match with Chiefs defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast during training camp, leading to Pollard being sent off the field. Apparently that was not just one isolated incident. But from Pollard's perspective, it's all worked out. Now he's a starter in Houston. "I respect others because that's what I want in return," Pollard says. "It was shocking to get let go, but I'm a Texan, and I'm happy to be one." http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...aches-cursing/ Last edited by chiefforlife; 11-08-2009 at 08:38 AM..

I didn't like Pollard constantly being out of position and his horrible tackling technique.

If you aren't yelling, you aren't trying.

So, do you like Mike Brown constantly being out of position and taking terrible angles?

Well, then he would have been really upset to be in my living room every Sunday, while I was watching him miss tackles and blow coverages left and right.

I can understand what he means about being a grown man and being treated like a high schooler.
Having that said his technique was poor and he needed work....he's getting paid millions to play a game, he should sack up and take it like a man would. |
