Posted July 12, 200717 yr comment_509821 Also mentiones that we probably wont hear about Odell until next week. [url="http://www.bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=6121"]http://www.bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=6121[/url]
July 12, 200717 yr comment_509822 yeah, no suprise. But watch out for 08. I cant wait to see this guy back on the field.
July 12, 200717 yr comment_509823 that sucks... at least its one less guy standing in odells way of getting a roster spot
July 12, 200717 yr comment_509839 I wasn't counting on anything earlier than the last week of the PUP exemption. It'll be nice to have him back for 08. If indeed those are his intentions. I'm quite sure Marvin will find a competent linebacker to fill the spot. I'd say Henderson is back on the team at this point.
July 12, 200717 yr comment_509847 No supprises, its just safer for him to not try to force it too quickly.

July 12, 200717 yr comment_509954 [quote][size=5][b]Pollack Expected To Miss 2007 Bengals Season[/b][/size] While golfing in Georgia, Bengals Head Coach Marvin Lewis paused before one of the holes, and provided a health update on LB David Pollack, who played his college ball for the Georgia Bulldogs. "This year, David probably will not be able to play football this season but they haven't ruled out football in David's future," Lewis said. Pollack broke his neck in the second game of the 2006 season, missed the rest of the year, and required surgery to repair the damage. Fortunately, the Bengals 1st Round pick in 2005 was not paralyzed in the collision, and there's still a chance he might return for the '08 season. [b]"At some point, he'll have a decision to make whether to continue his football future. But right now he's progressing great, working out like a maniac about 20 hours a day, so he's doing great."[/b][/quote] [url="http://www.fox19.com/Global/story.asp?S=6777988&nav=menu63_4"]http://www.fox19.com/Global/story.asp?S=67...mp;nav=menu63_4[/url] [b]VIDEO: Marvin Lewis-- David Pollack Unlikely To Play This Year[/b] Coach Marvin Lewis speaking on the Bengals 2005 first round pick who broke his neck early last season.

July 12, 200717 yr comment_510016 [quote][size=3][b]Lewis doesn't look for Pollack to play in 2007 [/b][/size] Bengals coach Marvin Lewis told The Enquirer this week that he does not expect linebacker David Pollack to play football this season. Even if Pollack were to resume his pro football career in the future, he will need the additional time to strengthen and rebuild his body. Pollack was incapacitated for several months after suffering a fractured C-6 vertebrae during the second game of the Bengals' 2006 season. Pollack wore a protective halo device to stabilize his neck and underwent surgery. [b]Lewis said the Bengals would likely make an official statement about theirs and Pollack's plans and decision regarding the 2007 season once training camp opens later this month[/b].[/quote] [url="http://frontier.cincinnati.com/blogs/bengals/"]http://frontier.cincinnati.com/blogs/bengals/[/url]
July 12, 200717 yr comment_510017 I never thought for a second he would or should come back this year. He may attempt it in '08 but it will still be a risky decision.

Maybe they plan on putting DP at end again? Didnt Pollack say somewhere that if he came back he'd prefer to play end?

I have no clue, and right now, heck, he can't even play football at all, so I think positioning is irrelevant at this time. [quote name='KoKaine777' post='510077' date='Jul 12 2007, 03:34 PM']good, maybe we don't have to hear anything about him for awhile.[/quote] Someone piss in your cereal this morning?
July 12, 200717 yr comment_510085 He cannot come back and be effective as a linebacker IMO......mental hurdle will be too great. As a DE, he could be close to where he was before the injury so if he comes back, I would like to see him at DE.

He's pretty cheap comparitvely and if he reaches close to his potential, he would be a nice pass rusher to have in there. He's relentless when healthy.

July 12, 200717 yr comment_510151 [font="Arial Narrow"] [size=3][b]I don't think he'll ever play again ... But I hope I am wrong [/b][/size][/font]
July 12, 200717 yr comment_510152 He will not be an upgrade, he is injury prone and just not that good anyway. He needs to start a church and preach and not take up any roster spot on the Bengals ever again.

In the three games against pissburgh, he was easily the best defensive player on the team. Hell, he was the only defender who showed anything in the playoff game. On a team desperate for leaders, he was already one. Last spring, in addition to all of his other workouts, he hired himself a nutritionist. This spring Ahmad Brooks went and followed his example. Pollack was an excellent pick for the Bengals, and I expect him to prove it over the long haul. I not only think he will play in '08, but play very well.

July 12, 200717 yr comment_510172 [quote]I agree, he should quit wasting his and the Bengals time and hang it up.[/quote] Wasting his time? David was one of the best pass all around ends in the SEC. David could bulk up to 275 and be a good pass rusher and could probably play the run pretty well...i don't see why they moved him anyways with that kinda quickness and that weight anyways. The guy probably loves football more then any other guy on the team and he probably wont give up something he has been doing since he was 6. He has one of the best motors on the team as well..he would be a good replacement for justin because he is quick and knows some moves i.e the texans game. And he will be back next year.

July 13, 200717 yr comment_510187 I agree Storm. I see Pollack and Perry as the same,wasting roster spaces on the team.They are fragile and should be playing Madden not NFL football.
