    Like it or not, we're noticeably better than last year. Similar record, but it's pretty obvious this team is better than it was last season.

    And yes... we need leadership of some sort. When he's gone who is going to help lead the team? Lol it would be a complete joke. We have no leadership outside of Pollard.

    Our main issues have been on the other side of the ball, with the offensive line sucking fat, sweaty balls.

    Attributed 100% to Bernard Pollard's leadership, no doubt. :rolleyes:

    What exactly is he leading? That's my point. He's leading a team that's 5-9, a defense that's 23rd against the run and in the bottom half of scoring defense. Along with young players who are being defiant(Brown and Hunter). Leadership at its best, I tell you.

    I think the better question to ask is who does he have to lead?

    Our defense sucks... and it ain't because of Pollard. You hated Pollard from the start, so I feel like you're just sticking to your guns.

    He hasn't been bad at all. He's been nothing special, but who can we get who will be better? Nobody. So why get rid of him?

    I'm not sticking to any guns, he's just exactly who he's been his entire career. A guy who can't cover and commits stupid("aggressive") penalties. I call him a fake leader because he talks about accountability and then costs the team with avoidable "aggressive" penalties.

    The penalties were why the Ravens cut him after giving him a three-year deal the offseason prior. They won a Super Bowl and didn't need to deal with his "aggressiveness" anymore. And guess what? Matt Elam has been better.

    You hated him from day-1

    He's been good for us. Not his fault the NFL hates his kind.

    My knock on Pollard is the same as Fry's, he talks a big game in pregame interviews and in postgame interviews about being accountable yet during the game he is always out of place, runs slow as can be, and is almost always getting burnt. I know that at SS he shouldn't be expected to be the best coverage guy, BUT you should be able to at least expect him to be decent. And he is not.

    And yes I am saying that Griffin has played better than Pollard this year. But again, that is not saying much in fact that says just how bad our S group is. And when I say Griffin has played better, I mean just that. All around Griffin has outplayed Pollard, tackling, coverage, not getting burnt as much, not giving up the deep ball on his end, and shutting his damn mouth especially.

    The first half of the season Pollard was in the right when he indirectly called out the offense for not doing their part but shortly after that it was the defense that was just as responsible for our following losses and yet he still doesn't just STFU.

    Ill call it hating if you and I were at the same table.

    Pollards good plays far outweigh some BS flags the refs later admit were bogus.
