      @@jwsteelers1 No, he's correct. No player changed his side of the ball more than Polamalu. If I were picking a team to play one game, I would start with Polamalu. There are a lot of great QB's to pick from, so Brady wouldn't be it. I can find a defensive end close enough to LT. Even Barry Sanders has a replacement. Troy changes the way you play defense because he can play any position on defense other than NT. He's a guy who can blitz from ten yards deep or crowd the line at the snap and drop into deep coverage without missing a step.

    Haven't watched football in a few years. I completely forgot how special he was. 4.33 40, the hits, the interceptions, the strips, the snap timing plays. The guy was physically gifted, obviously studied tape and had off the charts in game awareness and body control. It looks like the guy is moving a million miles and hour but has the control like he's playing in slow motion.

      Ed Reed was a better pure coverage safety and had a mind for the game like many safeties do not. Think Peyton-esque brains but at the safety position.
      Polamalu had something arguably better than brains - the best football instinct the game has ever seen.

    I remember a few years ago, there was a highlight clip of Polamalu running across the field to catch receiver who had a clear field in front of him. It looked like he was going to an easy score. Then Polamalu zoomed in with lightning-fast closing speed and folded him up like Origami. It was one of the most artful things I'd seen in football.
    Now I can't find it. It is every bit as incredible as any of these highlights.
