Troy Palomalu

Where was this guy on Sunday? I saw him miss about 3 tackles he definately should have made, and he really was rendered completely ineffective. I am glad because I have always said that while he is great at covering ground and has a nose for the ball, he really doesn't tackle well, only to be ripped into by ignorant football fans who like his hair. I just think he's overrated because of the way the Steelers use him. He really is just a good football player on a great defense, not the other way around.

Also, this thread is not about Joey Porter, who people say didn't show up. He showed up, they just weren't running at him much at all, and Walter Jones is tough for anyone to get past. It is far easier to neutralize a LB like Porter than it is a freelancing safety like Palomalu. Troy neutralized himself.
