He returns for his eighth NFL season, more cautiously than full of fire and brimstone. That's because Steelers safety Troy Polamalu still doesn't know what to expect from his balky left knee, although following the first two preseason games it's been so far, so good.
The worst thing that a football player can do is think too much. Football is all about instinct. Deep thinking is for college philosophy professors only.
Polamalu will be the first to tell you he has been thinking about missing 11 games last season because of a torn knee ligament, not having surgery and wondering and worrying if he can make it through 2010 intact.
"Maybe a little too much thinking," Polamalu said...............
