    It's no secret that Troy Polamalu is good, and if you don't account for him every play, you will be sorry. And in an effort to get the offesne best prepared, someone does play Troy during the week. So to get ready for Pittsburgh's tenacious defense and their sneaky SS, what Titan tries to mimic what #43 for the Steelers does?

    Every team does this, they identify their opponents impact players, and look for ways to limit what those players do by having someone "play them" each week.

    Sometimes when teams go against the Giants, they have their TE's "play" Brandon Jacobs so that their team can get used to tackling bigger bodies.

    So who do you think is this weeks Polamalu?

    Definitely Finnegan.

    He's the only one with the energy/fire to do it.

    That's what I was thinking too, and since Munchak is too smart to leak that info, I wasn't sure.

    Finnegan would be a good choice, but I doubt they have him running with the scout team defense much at all since he is a starter and needs to be more focused on his contribution to this weeks game and less about Polamalu's.

    Who ever will be "playing" Polamalu on the scout team will most likely be a backup, ps, or st player who doesn't have to be very involved in the game plan throughout the week, and has time to run scout team. Seeing as how none of the above choices fit into that category I went with other.

    You guys realize that Donnie Nickey used to play Polamalu on the scout team, right?

    Sadly we have no one with thick, shiny hair that can pull it off.
