Yardbarker: David Pollack

AJ Green is Terrific, Yes, But the Best Player at UGA since Herschel Walker?

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 11:30:46 -0500

AJ Green: The masses are still agog over this sick catch by Green late in the 4th quarter against LSU. The knee-jerk reaction is laughable: “A.J. Green is the greatest Bulldog since Herschel. He’s better than David Pollack, better than Garrison Hearst and Eric Zeier, better than Champ Bailey. More than simply the best receiver [...]

Odell Thurman with the UFL's Florida Tuskers

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 15:31:55 -0500

There was a point in time when many of us believed the duo of Odell Thurman and David Pollack would be the start of a fantastic defensive foundation. Thurman finished the season ranked high among finalists for defensive player of the year that eventually went to Shawn Merriman. Thurman was that guy Marvin Lewis had sought all along to man the middle linebacker spot; a defensive leader for many seasons. Pollack's transition from defensive end to outside linebacker was slow, but he was ...

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:21:00 -0500

There has been very little change with ESPN's announcing teams over years past, but with the addition of Matt Millen this season, there are couple of interesting moves that have been made. Some of the more notable ones include: Millen paired up with Sean McDonough for Saturday games, Todd Blackledge replacing Bob Griese on Saturday nights (paired with Nessler), Andrew Ware being moved to regional SEC coverage and Mike Patrick getting a new partner in Craig James. Here are your pairings fo...

Georgia's Greatest "Junkyard Dawg" Defense of All-Time

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 22:10:24 -0500

Through the years the University of Georgia has produced some of the greatest defensive players of all-time. They have produced quality players at each position, unlike most schools who produce quality players at just a single position. I have put together a defense that would have been dominant during any era or against any offense. It would be a defense that former coach Erik Russell would have been proud to call a “Junkyard Dawg” defense. Defensive End - David Pollack 2...

A Long Holdout Likely Coming From Bengals First Round Andre Smith

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 20:01:51 -0500

Holdouts with the Bengals are nothing new. DE Justin Smith sat out 50 days back in 2001, OLB David Pollack missed all of training camp back in 2005. Now indications are pointing to the Bengals first round pick this year - OL Andre Smith, holding out of training camp. Chick Ludwig of the Dayton [...]

The best ever: the defensive linemen

Thu, 21 May 2009 12:43:21 -0500

When it comes to defensive linemen in the Southeastern Conference, some of the best to ever play the game have helped the league develop its reputation as hands down the conference where the best defense is played year in and year out. While he might not have the imposing name that some of the other linemen developed over the years, the best defensive lineman the league has ever produced is Georgia’s David Pollack.

Revisiting the 2001 Music City Bowl

Thu, 11 Dec 2008 19:29:34 -0500

This is not BC's first trip to Nashville. In 2001 our beloved Eagles took on Georgia in the Music City Bowl. The memorable game marked an important point in TOB's tenure, a turning point for a few BC players and as BC's second straight bowl win, was the beginning of the "Bowl Streak." Prior to ...

Like Life, NFL = Unfair

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:14:40 -0500

Just like real life, life in the NFL is unfair as well. While troublesome players like Pacman Jones, Michael Vick, and Bengals' teammate Odell Thurman have gotten second chances, David Pollack will not be getting a second chance as he is being forced to retire due to a broken neck he suffered in 2006.
