Saint Doug Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Intentional? Where are you getting intentional related to Pollard? From what I've seen, he plays hard -- not dirty. I think he was talking about Brady trying to intentionally injure Ed Reed with his slide kick.
Saint Doug Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Seriously, can we get this guy somehow? http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2012/story/_/id/8882306/super-bowl-2013-bernard-pollard-baltimore-ravens-fined-15k-hit-wes-welker Pollard has a history with the Patriots, having seriously injured Tom Brady, Welker and Rob Gronkowski in previous seasons. In Sunday's game, a 28-13 Ravens victory, Pollard forced a crucial fumble by knocking running back Stevan Ridley out of the game.
Mark Vader Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC5MPV0rIHg Good point. Of course he did that as #31 for the 49'ers. Did he ever do that as #20 for the Bills?
It's in My Blood Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 I don't know much about his game other than the big hits against the Pats. Is he any good in coverage? Can he rush the passer? I'd take him solely based on his history with the Pats. What a nightmare for hoody to face the Patsykiller twice a year.
section122 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Good point. Of course he did that as #31 for the 49'ers. Did he ever do that as #20 for the Bills? Chad johnson
Santana Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 so this post is pretty much pointless? he's not even a free agent....waste of time
billsfan89 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 2008 Pollard was the guy that blew out Brady's knee that ended their chance to follow up their perfect regular season 2009 he was the guy that tore Welkers ACL that killed their chances in the playoffs 2011 he hurt Gronks ankle which was a key factor for the Giants upset in that Super Bowl 2012 he injures Ridley and causes a fumble that ended their chances for a fumble Pollard has a knack for injuring Pats* and is a pretty good player. If the Ravens are in a lot of cap hell and are willing to trade him I wouldn't be opposed to it. But I don't think Pollard's contract is unreasonable so I doubt the Ravens are looking to trade him.
Jon in Pasadena Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Good point. Of course he did that as #31 for the 49'ers. Did he ever do that as #20 for the Bills? Thanks; that was the point I was (poorly) attempting to get across. I don't really hate on Whitner like some do, just of the opinion that his "kill shot" mentality didn't really translate very well into very many game-changing plays. Chad johnson Yep, forgot about that one.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Bradham is the exception that proves the rule. His physical play is especially noticable on the Bills' roster. Da'Norris Searcy looks to be a pretty physical player too speaking of physical safeties. Pollard is a big time hitter and like many safeties has one thing he does well which is hit. He's more similar to the Niners "other" safety Dashon Goldson than he is Whitner. Interesting to me is that the both of the Niners safeties are better run players than pass players AND their cornerbacks are only average. If the Niners can't get a good pass rush on Flacco, it could be big troubles with Torrey Smith, Boldin, and Pita freeing up downfield. And the Ravens O-line has been pass protecting pretty well lately.
