Troy PolamaluShizlansky wrote: »Shizlansky wrote: »
He places himself in good positions to make tackles/sacks. When he has to defend a receiver one on one he is less than average. That"s why he doesn't do it much. Troy needs room to roam he doesn't fit in everyone's scheme
Which safety out there is playing man coverage?
And please don't say E. Thomas
The whole thing is that isn't where he is making his money. He is a hybrid. Most of the league can cover better than him but the all can't do what he can. Thats why i will take Dawkins because he can do both
I seen a safety lock nobody up man to man.
They play safety for a reason. Most defensive coordinators would never put their safety In man to man not even 40% of the time.
So who isotherm great safety's that locking down elite playmakers? -
Troy PolamaluCowboys fan here so I hate both teams on the trill. But gotta ride with Polamalu. He was a beast. Would have loved 2 see him with a star on his helmet. N/H

so no vids?

Wow....they dont have similar games. Dawkins covered way more ground and was a FS. Troy is a basic in the box SS..dawkins could have easily done what troy does but thats not what his job was. Troy cant play center field FS though

He can't lock down possession receivers. Of course they are not they are not as good as corners but but he is not good as most safeties.It is a pert of their job to grab the person out the backfield or an extra receiver. I only can think of a few off the top that are better in coverage
Berry/KC
Woodson better in coverage but he played cb
Bush/NO
McCourty/NE

Troy PolamaluLol.

Troy PolamaluTroy...more of a ballhwk and made bigger plays

Troy and it's not even close. He's THE total package as a safety. You can only compare him to Reed
