darin3 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Whats up with this dude? He's killing me. Some may disagree with me, but this is kinda the nature of IDPs. Even studs sometimes disappear, as there is no guarantee they will have opportunities to score. At least with RBs on bad teams - as an example - you know that despite their team sucking, they're gonna get carries. In the case of Polamalu, the Steeler defense as a whole has been dominating and has faced two below-average offenses thus far. Yes, the tackle totals (or lack thereof) is a bit concerning but the guy started the season off well defending passes (2 against CLE). Against BUF, Farrior handled the bulk of the up-front tackling, and Deshea Townsend came out of nowhere to get the bulk of the downfield tackles. Polamalu is a stud and the good ole law of averages say that he'll eventually rebound and put up some solid - if not monster - stats at some point very soon. I would not give up hope just yet. Their next three opponents are all NFC West teams that will try airing the ball out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
