Sean Taylor or Troy Polamalu

All bias aside, pound for pound, who's the better safety and who would you rather have on your defense?

I believe Polamalu is a Strong Safety, but still, who's the better player? Why?

Sean Taylor.

They both are great. Troy has already made the pro bowl i believe. However Sean is overall a better athlete, meaning faster stronger and with more range. Instincts, I'd probably give the edge right now to troy.

But without question I'd take Sean, his presence dramatically effects game plans more than Troy, IMO. Sean is also much more of an enforcer.

Taylor. Polumalu didnt have the ookie season Taylor had...plus Polamalu is a great hard hitter, but i dont see him pickuing the ball and running it back wiht one minuite left, and i cann see taylor doing that. I guess thats kinda bias

Troy Polamalu could probably be better if he would stop getting flags for attempting to kill other players, pulling people off the ground by there face masks and kneeing them in the face wont help your team

to me sean is the far better athlete, but right now polamalu is the more intelligent football player....

in the end i take sean hands down because i think his football intellect is going to catch up to his athletic ability and then watch out cause he is going to be rediculous!

I definately like Taylor better but Polumalu ran one back last year while running over a few players including Carson Palmer.I can't wait to see Big Sean return one for a Td.

ST's upside is so tremendous. GW is the nuturior and it depends on ST to be all of that. His acceptance of maturing mentally in all phases on and off the field is his key. When he chooses the "hood" way, he loses his gains.
On the field, he is "feared" period!

This is like asking "Ginger or Marianne". You can't go wrong with either, but ST is the more versatile and the more disciplined of the two.

Agree. That's exactly why I also pick Sean Taylor.

Sean Taylor. I just can't stand Troy's hair.

Aside from the Dallas flee-flicker, have you seen any offense we've faced really go ST's way? He's shuttin down his part of the field.

Biggie · #12 10-11-2005, 07:13 PM

Sean Taylor been has burned, what, once all season? And that was on a trick play.

I'd take Sean. Polamalu is a good safety, but Sean could play any defensive position other than DL or MLB, and some offensive too. That's insane.

Well, i would take Taylor.

Faster, Stronger, feared, cause recievers to think twice, great hands, can blitz like Tp and maybe better cause he is bigger. Also a lost fact is that Troy isn't that great in coverage...he can't play man that well.

Taylor plays man plenty of times on Witten in Dallas, when Walt and Springs do there double corner (cat) blitz, and when we send linebackers...

Just wait until Taylor has the experience that Troy has (3 years i think)...Ed Reed times 2.

Taylor Hands down the better safety.. And i met Troy and he is as nice as they come and plays well but Taylors an animal..

smoak · #15 10-12-2005, 07:58 AM

There are only a couple safeties in the league that I think are better than Taylor, and TP while great, isn't one of them.
