Can someone tell me:

Did you see Steelers #43 in backfield behind Big Ben during the last 2 snaps of the Cincy game tonight???

That's Troy Polamalu as an RB....? Who knew? Nahhhh, it's just for show?

what gives? It's not a biggie when you're kneeling down....but what gives?

It's kind of like putting WRs back to defend a Hail Mary. No big deal.

Maybe they're trying to keep him from getting suspended from his low and dirty hits.

Best open field tackler on the defense just in case there was some fumble or something and cincy got the ball.. that's what I thought last night

Watch how many low hits he has... he's not a headhunter, but he's dirty.

Troy is always back there for victory formations. A victory that they backed into.

Troy does go low but legally. You'll probably see more of this due to Der Komissar Goodell's new flag football rules
