Former Chiefs S Bernard Pollard Still Haunts the Patriots

PrintOn opening week last year, Chiefs S Bernard Pollard shocked the football world by diving at Patriots QB Tom Brady. The hit ended up tearing up part of Brady's knee, ending his season.
Today, now the former Chief, current Texan Bernard Pollard, is near another big Patriots injury.
In the first quarter of the Patriots game against the Texans, Wes Welker caught an out pattern and made his way up field.
As he was going down, he was lightly tackled by Pollard and injured his knee. He was grabbing his knee as he went down so it wasn't clear if he hurt it before he was hit (that's what it looks like).
Check out the video for yourself on NFL.com.
Welker was pretty emotional on the sidelines which makes you think it's a pretty serious injury, like Brady's was last year.
Either way, a strange coincidence.

He injured the knee on the plant...
While an odd coincidence, Pollard had nothing to do with the injury. The Roughing the Passer penalty, however, when he launched himself into Hoyer, was a different story…

ah pollard, oh well, interested to see what the chiefs who are still chiefs can do.
Romeo Crennel will become the Defensive Coordinator
Charlie Weis will become the Offensive Coordinator to complete Pats part deux
Jamaal "Do it All" Charles will run for 1400 yards,400 recieving,16td's in 2010
We will NOT miss Bernard Pollard and his locker room attitude
Haley is the right coach who just needs good people around him, much like Cassel
Vince Wilfork will be Scott Pioli's top offseason priority and will be a Chief.
I actually
broke a piece off my knee cap without taking a hit from planting my foot trying to steal a pass playing basketball…so I know what that injury is like, swelled to the size of a football. hope he didnt break anything and its just a dislocation or something
