I have heard Pollard is one of the fastest guys in camp, and is a monster on the QB blitz.

Impossible. He has no burst. He's slow off the line. We could've had Manny Lawson with that pick. Terrible pick. He'll just be another abandoned "unpolished potential" project in a few seasons.

I think Wesley has gotten a bad rap the last couple of years undeservingly. Yes, he has blown some plays, but so has every other safety in the league. I think it is very deceiving because there have been so many times that other players on the D have blown their assignments and Wesley is the one that has to run them down, thus giving the impression he is the one getting beat. He always collects a handfull over turnovers every year and still imposes fear on a receiver. I'll never forget the hit he put on Terrell Davis his rookie year, although Davis got up (slowly),damn that was a big hit!

The thing I hate MOST about Wesley is when he blitzes the QB - he ALWAYS missed the QB when he is blitzing, ALWAYS

its no suprise wesley will get benched early for a faster more athletic player in pollard.

the special teams needs a vet, wesley should fill that spot nicely.

His first couple of seasons he lit people up. I haven't seen him make any of those bone-crushing hits in the last few years.

Wesley's problem is not athleticism. He's not the most gifted player out there, but in his 1st couple of years he more than made up with it by playing with HEART.

Now, he has no heart. He got paid and he doesn't care. It was readily apparent last year when he acted like a spoiled baby when they brought in Knight.

And I've heard several reports from camp about Pollard and Page and they all mention that Wesley looks like he's going through the motions out there - he has no fire...

That's the story of Wesley last year.

I say play the rooks except whenever we play Brady and the Patriots... didn't Wesley have like four picks off Brady last year?

That's not getting paid, that's the lingering effects of Greg Robinson. He was like an attitude vampire that sucked all the heart out of our entire defense. It's taken us years to wash the stench of 'read and react' off.

Read and react= burned and benched
