Steelers Insider Ed Bouchette: 'I Think This Will Be It For' Troy Polamalu
PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) - Steelers Insider Ed Bouchette joined Starkey and Mueller for his weekly segment and talked about what the offense could bring back this week against the Kansas City Chiefs and how much more Troy Polamalu has left in the tank.
Talking about Polamalu, Bouchette gave us his gut feeling on whether or not the All-Pro Safety will be back after this season.
"Oh, I would be surprised," Bouchette said. "I think he's done, I really do. He looks heavier, I don't know what he weighs. He's still active around the ball, but his reactions aren't as good as they used to be."
Bouchette also addressed whether or not Polamalu would look to continue his career with another team if the Steelers don't want him back.
"I think Troy has a lot of pride and will realize that he just doesn't have it anymore," Bouchette said. "They all lose it. The great ones all lose it."
Looking ahead to this week's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Bouchette speculated that we could see the return of the no-huddle offense this week.
"I remember when we talked about the no-huddle offense and a lot of the advantages that they said early in the season that it brought to them, and one of them was to neutralize strong pass rushes," Bouchette said. "This is a good one coming in with Justin Houston co-leading the league with 17 sacks and 38 total by the Chiefs, which is sixth most in the league so that would be one way to do it."
