Steelers' Polamalu downplays emotional outburst

[stillers4me]

Troy Polamalu usually allows his performance to speak for him. This time was different.

Angered at an across-the-board defensive performance he deemed unacceptable by Steelers standards, Polamalu vented his emotions during an in-huddle outburst midway through the third quarter of a 31-21 loss Thursday in Philadelphia.

With the Steelers down 24-0 and giving up yards at a “Madden”-type pace, Polamalu had seen enough. For one of the few times in his 12-season Steelers career, he yelled, gestured and pleaded — and with so much emotion, it took defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau to calm him down...........

Go Troy!

Don't piss off the Polamalu. :chuckle:

Troy works his ass off and sees his teammates playing like they are stoned.

Where is the fire (other than at the tip of a joint)?

Where is the collective will to win (besides the backseat of a camaro)?

Players should give 100% on every play of every practice, scrimmage and preseason game.

Antonio Brown does.

Troy has every right to be pissed.

Dude, where's my team?
