I get that Witten probably fucked up. But what was Pollard doing? Pretending to try and block?I don't just look at Witten as the play unfolded.

yeah, not much resistance was given.That play looked broken and awkward from the get-go, not really sure who to blame exactly, but even if Pollard was only ad-libbing in his attempt to pass protect he still got shook out of his shoes and barely got a hand on the defender as he gave him the arm-over and went right on by.
The sad thing is I really believe they wanted that ball to come out quickly to Witten. It's a 2 yard gain for sure. Any other TE on this roster could probably get you more with that play. But those will go to Witten.Yeah, maybe Witten was supposed to chip him a little before he went out, but that doesn't mean Pollard has to totally whiff.
It was one of those stupid plays anyway. Witten goes out on a 2-yard pattern then glaciers his way forward for a yard or two. Bleh.
I don't think anyone is. Hell Witten could have at least got a piece of him to slow it up. So I wouldn't even put it all on Pollard regardless. Just a learning experience for him which is a good thing. It's why I want him to play more real reps.I'm not hanging a lot of weight on one damn play. Let's see if it becomes a pattern before we all jump ship on the guy.
