November 13, 200619 yr Both are great, but Troy is a special player. Many have said he is the best to come around since that Lott guy... That's crazy talk. He is very effective in the blitz and very effective agains thte run. He is not special against the pass.
November 13, 200619 yr That's crazy talk. He is very effective in the blitz and very effective agains thte run. He is not special against the pass. Now, that is crazy talk. His closing speed makes him one of a kind. He picks balls that others would be lucky to defend at all, ask Peyton,et.al.
November 13, 200619 yr When he is in coverage is very good, they just seem to blitz him more. :argue:
November 13, 200619 yr When he is in coverage is very good, they just seem to blitz him more. :argue: Isn't that the job of a strong safety? That's okay, IAF thinks the Steelers run a 4-3 also!!:sssh:

November 13, 200619 yr OR Vick..... Just pulling your chain,,,but on that note, did you watch the Pitt/Atl game?
November 13, 200619 yr Just pulling your chain,,,but on that note, did you watch the Pitt/Atl game? I did...
November 13, 200619 yr Isn't that the job of a strong safety? That's okay, IAF thinks the Steelers run a 4-3 also!!:sssh: I defended someone that called him, "The most overrated player in football" this weekend. If his "closing speed" was that good he'd be a corner.
November 13, 200619 yr I defended someone that called him, "The most overrated player in football" this weekend. If his "closing speed" was that good he'd be a corner. Not true, and if you watched the Atl game, you did see him close on and catch Vick when he left the pocket didn't you?
November 13, 200619 yr Just pulling your chain,,,but on that note, did you watch the Pitt/Atl game? Some of it. I've watched Troy in college and in the NFL and he's very good. He's not the best safety in the league or the division.
November 13, 200619 yr Not true, and if you watched the Atl game, you did see him close on and catch Vick when he left the pocket didn't you? An open field tackle?
November 13, 200619 yr Not that Troy isn't a real good safety because he is. Ronnie Lott though he's not.
November 13, 200619 yr I disagree and many would IMO. He changed how many teams view the SS position. Not that Ed Reed doesn't. But Ed Reed may defend the pass as well or even better, but doesn't do the other things as well, IMHO

November 13, 200619 yr How many times has Troy been NFL Defensive POY again??? Yes, Ed has one, and I doubt that Troy will go long w/o one. You take Ed, I'll take Troy. IMO, Ed is somewhat a product of his personnel, whereas the Steelers defensive success is a product of Troy and his ability. Therein lies the difference for me!
