      I was just looking at that fact. At 2:45, CL reverses field and heads up the sideline. You can see Troy from the jump taking a deeper, yet accurate angle, knowing how fast CJ is. #25 Ryan takes far too aggresive angle and gets left in the dust. In fact, it's because of Troys angle CJ hops out of bounds. (Then Troy pops him!!)

      I alway felt he was able to freelance more than most guys. Not to say that he was overrated but he blew plays on the back end every now and then. If I took a safety from this era it would have to be either Sean Taylor or Ed Reed. They were the guys that people always made Polamalu out to be IMO.

      The NFL is SCRIPTED ENTERTAINMENT and Storyline's and it's totally fake just like wrestling, over 10 former players have already came out and exposed the NFL as being scripted and rigged, the most recent being DWIGHT SMITH AND Benny Cunningham, along with Chris Borland, Larry Johnson and Joe Taylor just to name a few. I have over 280 video's exposing the NFL and it's rigging. Along with Freemasonry, the Occult and the Illuminati along with much much more. Stop letting the Elites lie to you and trick you ..
      Football is meant to be merely a sidetraction from the truth and what's really important. They want you worked to death and to tired to research the truth. Just go with the mainstream media and not question anything. Be a good slave.
      It's bread and circuses for the masses same thing as in the Roman times with Caesar that's why they tease you and play the Caeser commercials.. please take my advice it's fake and scripted. Subscribe To Flint Truth Channel for more truth. Thanks and may God bless you

(Burfict made me super mad but I blame the man and not the team for that part, same as I would with a Steeler guy who did something that made me do a "yikes" emoji in real life)

      What are you talking about?
      If anything, what could've helped his career was if the Titans had fired fisher sooner and got any offensive coach or had any luck developing WRs and QBs.

    Some are saying the angle Polamalu took at @2:50 was high football IQ and saved a touchdown. I agree it takes a special person to make that play however talk about how he ran a 4.3 40yrd dash and they both changed directions at the same time heading towards the sideline. Polamalu was on the 18yrd line and Johnson on the12th. Even though Johnson ran back to the 11yrd line to avoid a defender, Polamalu did not catch him until the 43yrd line. If you never played football, it's difficult to appreciate the speed Johnson possessed which made a 4.3 Polamalu take the angle he took.
