Mike Brown's not the answer at all to a top flight secondary, but there's 11 f'ing guys out there playing defense, and everyone seems to have focused in on ONE dude.
Please... My judgment of Pollard is that he's a young safety with some talent and skill who could really contribute to a defense. But as I said above- HE'S GONE. I don't hate Pollard, don't think he's a talentless clown, but his coverage skills were lacking, and he had some other problems like going for the big hit and not finishing tackles.
Had we kept him, I wouldn't have complained, but I'm just tired of wading through the f'ing tears because we cut a guy. And then one guy out of all the defensive players we have seems to get the blame for our defense's shortcomings. Frankly, it's like blaming one ember for the whole house fire.
