Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't hear of a single team even INTERESTED in Pollard, whether the less, claiming him.

Yeah, every hour that Pollard goes without a new team is a further sign that Chiefs fans (including me) overrated him. I really did think prior to training camp that a new DC and HC would be able to improve his coverage skills to the extent that he's be an awesome 3-4 SS. I appear to be wrong. Teams are seeming to think his high tackle numbers in 2008 were more a sign of our lousy front seven than his skills.

Maybe texaschief is wrong, and cutting Pollard wasn't the worst thing to happen to the Chiefs since 2005.

All that does is tell you how awful our defense was last year. A safety should NEVER be leading your team in tackles! It should ALWAYS be a linebacker. Of course, even with the tons of chances for tackles he had, thanks our horrible front 7, he still whiffed on a ton of them.

Funny. I was thinking the same thing. Have faith guys.
