Asked to name a running back who reminds him of Atlanta Falcons bruiser Michael Turner, safety Troy Polamalu thought of someone the entire Steeler Nation can relate to.
"If I can think of anybody, it would be Jerome Bettis," Polamalu said Friday, in advance of Sunday's 1 p.m. opener against Atlanta at Heinz Field. "Jerome ran with great balance and quickness, and he used his upper body to protect his legs. People would just bounce off him. Turner has huge legs, and he bounces off people. I would say that's the best comparison."
