Bernard Pollard Almost Starts an "Massive Brawl" at Training Camp!

Pollard sounds off

Safety Bernard Pollard is never shy about talking some trash whether it's in the locker room or on the practice field. But Pollard was in rare form toward the end of this morning's practice session.
He had at least half of the offensive players coming after him because of his caustic comments during a short-yardage drill. A mass brawl may have been avoided only when Todd Haley threatened to send everyone on a run.
Pollard wasn't finished. After practice, with all of the players stretching, Pollard continued and Haley again stepped in, twice telling Pollard to stretch more and talk less.
"I hadn't heard much from Bernard until today," Haley said. "I definitely heard him today."

Since when is it good that a guy nearly starts a brawl with his own team?

I agree, Pollard needs to shut his trap.

When your defense is the worst sacking defense in NFL history and they have shown that they really dont care. When intensity was a thing of the past and leaders were no where to be found. Thats when it is good 7's!

Yeah, it might be a motivator; I'm just not sure it does a lot for team unity or moral. JMO

Save it for a DONK!

Right on Haley! Players now fear him. He is going to be a great coach IMO.

Texans, what have the done?

Aren't they a pre season game?

Why not save it for Eli or Ben Rothliesburger?

I wouldnt want them to fear Haley but rather respect him as a coach. But then a good dose of fear always goes along with respecct so yea.

But yea trash talking is apart of all team sports. Even in practice. I dont read to much into it just the ever present tension that is always there when you have an offense vs a defense in a team sport.

Fear in them is discipline. Discipline is good team. And a good team means SUPERBOWL!!!
