Troy Polamalu retires

[TKOK]

was one of my favorite players during his prime.

Troy is a Steeler icon and it was a joy to watch him play. Glad he's walking away before he's forced into retirement by a devastating injury, which is always a fear with someone who plays so hard. Hopefully life after football is good to him.

much respect to a legend

if it wasn't for Ed Reed he would have been the best of his era. but Ed Reed balled out at the SS (did it better than troy) and FS!

Top 3 safeties I've ever seen play.

Been buying property in Philadelphia on the north end. Had difficult customers at my bar.

What happened, breh?

And where is that nikka Reggie going to play this season?

 

[SoulController]

best SS ive ever seen

 

[mamba]

Man drunk people making a scene and some dudes who are bad news up some rotten stuff causing fights. I threw him out and he started spreading some nasty rumors about me shooting at him with some Belgian pistol I know nothing about. I gotta call Reggie about that actually. Haven't talked to him in a bit.

Damn, breh. That's fukked up. We heard about that shyt and talked about it on the Coli. What happened to that drunk nikka?

The look of fear on a QB face on 3rd down when Troy crept up to the line and he knew his RB can't block him.

It was time. When he was in his prime though

:sadmjgreene:

I'm gonna miss seeing dude fly over the line of scrimmage, that was a thing of beauty.

I'd take him over Reed, barely. Reed was the best coverage safety, but I'd take Polamalu because of his run support and disruptive ability at the line.

Whenever I think of Polamalu I always think of this one play, I can't even remember who they were playing. It was a perfectly executed screen where a runner has a convoy of blockers in front of him in an open field and it looks like it's gonna be a 25 yard gain. Polamalu flew in from out of nowhere and somehow split/shrugged off 3 blockers and blew the runner up behind the line.

Dude was like Wolverine playing football.
