    Troy P has an overall positive effect on the defense.. guy is the real deal. There is no way anyone can say that Pitt not having him has not hurth the defense. He is the top playmaker on that defense. I hate him and his stupid hair commercials even more.. But I love to watch him play..man can he fly.. such amazing game speed.

    Agree , It effects the D , much like missing Cribbs would effect your Special Teams.

    anyone who says Troy doesn't affect the Steelers D...I don't know what to say to you. That dude is an animal and a ball hawk, love him or hate him

    It isn't about what Troy Pollyboohoo does. it's about what he IS.

    He is a GIRLIE-MAN, and his hair is so long because he won't get it cut, because

    he is afraid it would HURT.

    Yep, It's Squeeler - Browns week !

    wow i know that this is steeler's week and all and that troy is a hated member of pissburgh, but come one guys: this guy is amazing. who else has closing speed like him? who else in the defensive backfield hits like he does? who else makes terrible commercials? the answer to the first two are: only a handful of guys. the answer to the last one is: lots of people.

    Yeah, to suggest that Troy has little impact on our D is flat out idiocy.

    The same way some are suggesting our downturn in D effectiveness is due to Troy's absence from the field. That's equally idiotic. It's partially accurate, but not totally.

    Our pass rush has been unusually slow, part of it might be LB's dropping more into coverage, part of it might be the continued aging of our D line, and Smith's season ending injury isn't going to help matters.

    The talk is that Troy is playing Sunday, and I hope they're not rushing him back. Ziggy Hood, our first-round pick might get some decent playing time in Smiths absence.

    I'd say sit Troy another week, play Hood the whole game.

    I saw somewhere that said they didn't feel Hood was ready to play consistently yet and they're planning on rotating two other guys in on a regular basis and only bring in the rookie here and there. Not sure where I saw it, but I do know that's what I read.

    Troy is a Punk & a cheap shot artist. Next Stooler I would not mind seeing taken out Ward. Does anyone know if Ward get fined for speering the CB during the Chargers game?

    Again, ignorance is bliss for some Cleveland fans.

    Troy is playing and it would not matter if he was or not. Your team is the same team as last week except now they know how bad the offense is with DA.

    The Steelers have beaten the Browns 11 straight times and have a 59-55 overall series edge, including the playoffs. Additionally, Pittsburgh has won 17 of the past 18 games in the series overall. The one loss was a 33-13 in Pittsburgh in 2003

    If the Browns win, I will call myself a stupid fag at the end of every post until the Steelers win against the Browns.

    If Atenears does not go all gay and start banning again, I'll be back. But seriously, you guys are delusional if you think you are going to beat the STEELERS with that team right now. I wish you the best, but I see a team that got a new head coach that took the team back a step. I never thought I would see that with Mangini there, but he has made some serious blunders.
