Your friend must enjoy Sportscenter more than he does just watching the games in general. Troy might not be the most sound tackler you've ever seen, but you'll VERY rarely see him miss a tackle by trying to make a huge hit like you see often with guys like Roy Williams and Sean Taylor. Troy will do what it takes to bring a guy down. He can lay a hit or two, but he focuses more on the important thing, making the tackle. Polamalu's stregnth is that he can pretty much line up anywhere on the field and is great, not good, but great at each facet of the defensive side of the ball. He can stop the run, defend the pass, tackle, pressure the QB, etc. I agree that theres no comparison between Troy and Williams and Lynch, because Williams and Lynch both have weak spots whereas Troy is so well rounded and solid at every aspect on defense. Hope this helps you win your argument!

Troy!!!! Reed might want to have had 2 extra interceptions, yet Polamalu motives extra audibles and has a larger result on how the game is performed, only by the way he "strains" up, or lack there of! Plus remember, Polamalu has like 70+ tackles to Reeds 50+, he's extra useful on the "linebacker" form coverage too. Now, in case you watch the 4th and short provide up on Flacco by Polamalu in the Championship, then you definitely will understand what i'm talking about!

Troy is no doubt one of the premire safties in the league. I think he has to battle hard to be named top saftey as I think Ed Reed just keeps getting better. Troy had a tough year this year with injuries and such and didnt play as well comming off the injury twards the last leg of the season. I can deffinatly say he is what a deffense needs, electricity. He can get anyone fired up and he gives the Steelers character.

He is probably the best Defensive player on the team. I don't know if he is the best player on the team or not, but if he isn't then that is because they have a best on Offense and best on Defense and no real best. Anyway he is one of the best Safeties in the league. Not sure if he is the best or not. I am a Steelers fan and I admit to my bias so maybe some of the others are up there with him, but can't put him down. He is at the top and there is no doubt about that.

First of all , Brian Dawkins and Ed Reed are better than Polamalu. Second of all John Lynch is a hall of famer, so you're right.... there is no comparison. You love of the Steelers is blinding your judgement , Polamalu is a very good player.... but you shouldn't but him in the hall of fame..... i do think he'd be a great outside linebacker.
