Re: Polamalu for Detroit

Yes, this should go over well.......

"Good news Troy, you are healthy enough to play now. However, we have decided not to let you anyways. We know that you are a competitive guy and all, and you are itching to get back out there but it is only the Lions."

This should go over well......

"Troy you are 90% lets get you a few snaps against the Lions to break you in slow.....Troy comes on a Blitz in the first quarter and sacks Stafford.....James Harrisons blocker lets go of the two handed bear hug he has on him and goes tumbling into Troy's leg......oops season over......maybe shouldn't have risked that against the LIONS.

Big difference between being ready and being 90% and at risk of further damaging his knee. I want him to be 100% ready when he hits the field. The MCL is key because it is key to lateral movement, and Troy's effectiveness is based on his ability to shift gears and change directions on a dime. Once his MCL is repaired then he should be immediately reinserted into the lineup regardless of the opponent.

Re: Polamalu for Detroit

Troy at 75% is better than most at 100%, but considering the way he is used in this Defense, and what he's asked to do, you just don't see the plays being made when he's hurt.

He needs to be 100%. Unless you want the haters to come out again and say we need to draft a replacement like in 2007 when playing hurt.
