The big thing that has been on my mind for this week's upcoming Steelers game is whether or not the all pro, all everything safety Troy Polamalu should play or not? In case you didn't know, the Steelers are playing the pathetic Browns. The Browns are one of the worst teams in football. They have one of the most overrated QB's in the league in Brady Quinn (which you can see why I think this in my last post). They just traded their best offensive player in Braylon Edwards, and they have an aging run game. Put these all together and you have a pathetic team. To make matters even worse, Derek Anderson had the worst game I have ever seen for a QB last week against the Buffalo Bills going 2-17 for 23 yards and an INT. This is just pathetic for a QB, and yet to show how pathetic the game was, Buffalo won 6-3 in OT. Both teams are awful, and it just to show, that you may have some good players on your team, but if you don't have a solid QB, your team sucks.
Well up next is the undefeated Minnesota Vikings. They have one of the best QB's of all time in the iron man Brett Favre, and the all everything RB Adrian Petersen. This is definitely a championship caliber team, and with them lurking in the distance, I say the Steelers sit Polamalu for yet another week, let him rest and play him next week in this meaningful game.

In the first game of the season, Troy's leg got fallen on by Alge Crumpler and his sprained his MCL. I know personally how damaging any knee injury may be. In high school, I tore my PCL, MCL, and some cartilage. It took me about 3 months to fully recover, and was a hard road back. So with the whole season ahead, and the very important game next week, I saw you sit Polamalu for another week, and play him against the Vikings
