T-Dub Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 As much as I feel bad for Pollack, I think we have enough players afraid to hit someone on our defense without him coming back as a situational pass-rushing DE that won't play teams, but makes 1st round draft pick money. Seems to me like its time to move on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us, like me as of recently, double dip. SIS (one of my absolute favorite people in the world, on the boards and irl) is over there sometimes. Globetrotter here is guru or goo over there. Coy is now C Hamet Bengali. Danny is Mofo and I think shows up here, too. What was your screen name back then? And drop by and say "howdy do". You'll be most welcome. Goes for anyone else, too. Lots more people here and the board moves really fast, sometimes causing double posts and/or missing something but I like it here, too. Over there you do not have to register and all kinds of strange and famous people show up from time to time. Not uncommon for Marge *cough* Schott to post from beyond the veil or even Mike Brown.

The Bengals just pulled it. Was there and completely gone an hour later. Really too bad because there were some good Bengal fans and posters who had a pretty good opinions and perspective on a lot stuff going on with the team.

Although I have to say that I don't think a player, no matter how holy, awesome, gifted, returning-from-injury or whatever should EVER be able to dictate a position to a team and it's coaches. That's not their decision, no matter the circumstances. I think that is what is irking me, and I don't think I'm alone here. Play or don't play David, you're supported either way, but you kinda entered into an agreement with a pro team that kinda sorta owns you. I don't believe being a genuine good guy or an athletic freak or being an injured player attempting a comeback should make them think they are in a position to dictate terms, or in this case, their position on the field.
