Bernard Pollard responds
Looks like Bernard is a little salty because John Harbaugh "didn't speak up". I'm not sure what he was expecting Harbaugh to say. Just another side to a story.

Re: Bernard Pollard responds
It's done. I didn't agree with the Ravens cutting Pollard, and thought that Harbaugh claiming it was a cap move was BS, but what is the point of continuing to talk about it? I know Pollard was asked a question by a reporter, but he answered a similar question earlier by saying "who cares" as to why he was cut. He is on the Titans now, and should just focus on being with his new team.

Re: Bernard Pollard responds
One of the comments sums it up for me ....
"Pollard can’t be serious. You can’t challenge a coaches authority and expect him to want you around. There is a right and a wrong way to express unhappiness and Reed and Pollard choose the wrong way. Pollard has now played for 4 teams in 6 years….. something tells me this isn’t exclusive to Harbaugh. Kubiak and his other coaches, obviously didn’t care for him either."

Re: Bernard Pollard responds
I re-watched the Superbowl yesterday. I can see why they cut him. He couldn't cover to save his life.

Re: Bernard Pollard responds
Well, I know he was a liability in coverage, but, I do recall he had those 6 cracked ribs that were bothering him from the very first hit he delivered.
I figured that was why he looked so bad because he was playing hurt.
I would imagine, that if he came out, the Niners would have went right after his replacement.
By staying on the field, maybe they didn't figure it out until the second half.

Re: Bernard Pollard responds
I think that's basically the nub of it: if Pollard was really a pain in the ass in the locker room, he simply wasn't a good enough player to force yourself to put up with it. I don't buy that Reed was kicked out of town over it, but in Pollard's case it would certainly be understandable, especially if the Ravens get more speed/coverage ability at safety this coming season.

Re: Bernard Pollard responds
All of the above is true, plus the fact that Ozzie knows this is a very good draft for picking up a strong safety in the later rounds.

Re: Bernard Pollard responds
If Cam Cameron was one of the issues that the players spoke up about then Pollard should be put in the ring of honor. All that I know is that before the "mutiny" it looked like a lost season. A couple weeks after the "mutiny", we became unbeatable. I think Harbaugh needed a foot up his ass.
