Re: Is It Time to Trade Polamalu?
I think Smith is missed more in the pass D than he is in the run D this season.

Re: Is It Time to Trade Polamalu?
I've said this in many threads recently. Smith had two sacks in 5 games and would have probably ended with 5 or 6 for the year. He also routinely collapses the pocket and applies pressure in the face of the quarterback allowing the playmakers on the outside to make plays. The defense has missed him more than most realize.Originally posted by stlrz d

Re: Is It Time to Trade Polamalu?
It hasn't been as bad as last time Aaron went down, when the performance went from excellent with him there to atrocious without him. Kirschke/Eason/Hood have filled in admirably, but there is still a significant drop from Smith, who is great at what he does, to those guys, you are merely filling the role adequately.Originally posted by papillonSteeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment
