Troy Polamalu?

Was there something wrong with Troy during the game? It was a very unTroy like performance ,0 tackles 2 assists. I think he missed every tackle he attempted.

Heck no! He was doing what he was supposed to be by covering deep and keeping the Cardinals short!

The D went to cover 2 and put him back as the safety valve to keep the Cardinals in front of the D...

Yeah, he actually had one hell of a game.

He did have 2 misses, but it was definitely the way they had him playing that made him "seem" insignificant.

They did that most of last year too.

Troy did what was asked of him, he was in the flat or deep all day long and his main goal was to make sure that Fitz was covered as much as possible all day. Troy was in on some plays and nearly came down with an INT. He was a big factor for us on the field even though he wasn't in on all the tackles.

there was also something wrong with his eye in the begining of the game hence tyrone carter getting some PT.

Contact lens fell out. He was his typical Mr. Fantastic. Only 1 play he was not in optimal position was the long TD to Fitz and that was the play being played the way it was called.
