Safety Troy Polamalu intercepts a pass intended for Bengals receiver Terrell Owens and returns it for a touchdown in the second quarter Sunday at Heinz Field.



It's not the wondrous athletic ability or the incredible sense of anticipation or even the big hair that makes Steelers safety Troy Polamalu the best defensive player in the NFL.

It's something much simpler.

Polamalu cares.

That's evident during the week as the Steelers prepare for their opponent. "Most guys are playing pool or pingpong at lunch and after practice," linebacker Larry Foote said. "Troy's on his computer, studying the offense. He knows every formation. If he even gets a sniff of something coming, he's all over it."...................

I remember a derogatory remark about Troy 3-4 weeks ago by Marshall Faulk talking on NFLN. Basically saying that people are giving Troy the respect he earned from being Troy in the past. Which he is NOT now. That is not a quote. It's just written the best way I remember. ......Not yet, Marshall, not yet.

I didn't realize that Ed Reed was on the top 100 list and Troy wasn't. :jawdrop:
