Since The NFL draft began in 1936 Womens Jesse James Jersey , the Pittsburgh Steelers have only taken a player whose primary position was safety twice in 83 years. Players such as Rod Woodson (1987), Ron Johnson (1978), Dave Brown (1975), and J.T. Thomas (1973) ended up playing safety at some point in their career but were initially cornerbacks when they entered the league. It wasn’t until 2003 when the Steelers traded up from the 27th position (giving up third and sixth round picks) to select Troy Polamalu 18th overall when the Steelers drafted their first true safety.Polamalu ended his career being selected to the Pro Bowl eight times, First Team All Pro four times, and Second Team All Pro twice. Additionally, Polamalu was the 2010 Defensive Player of the Year. After his retirement following the 2014 season, it will only be a matter of waiting the required five years before Polamalu will be enshrined in Canton.In 2018, the Steelers selected Terrell Edmunds in the first round of the NFL draft with the 28th pick. Many of the so-called “football experts” felt a first-round choice was a reach, but the Steelers saw something they really liked with Edmunds’ size, speed, and football IQ. Whether or not Edmunds will have even a shadow of the career Troy Polamalu had in Pittsburgh will remain to be seen. Since Edmunds only has a six game sample so far of his NFL career, if any comparisons are going to be drawn with a great Troy Polamalu it will have to be over the same six-game sample. Ironically, the Steelers had a Week 7 bye in the rookie seasons of both Edmunds and Polamalu, so taking a look at their comparative stats through the bye week lines up perfectly for an early evaluation.In 2003, the Steelers entered their bye week with a record of 2-4. Out of the six games before the bye, Troy Polamalu had not started in any game, nor did he start for the remainder of the season. Being primarily used on special teams and in dime packages, Polamalu did not have impressive stats as a rookie. Through his first six games, Troy recorded one pass defended, 11 tackles (7 solo Authentic Jon Bostic Jersey , 4 assisted), and one tackle for loss. Unfortunately, Pro Football Reference did not begin recording snap counts in each game until 2012. Since I have neither the game films nor the extensive time it would take to log the snap counts myself, I cannot say what percentage of the plays Troy Polamalu played on defense in his first six games.In 2018, the Steelers entered the bye week with the record of 3-2-1. Terrell Edmunds officially started five of the six games the Steelers have played this season, with the lone exception being Week 2 against Kansas City. So far in 2018, Edmunds has recorded two passes defended, 21 tackles (16 solo, 5 assisted), one interception with a return of 35 yards, one fumble recovery, and one quarterback hit.What has been surprising about Edmunds is the amount of plays he has been forced in to due to the injury of Morgan Burnett. In the last four games, Edmunds has played 100% of the snaps on defense. With 388 total defensive snaps, Edmunds has been on the field for 90% of the plays for defensive coordinator Keith Butler. Adding another 106 snaps on special teams, Edmonds is only six snaps shy of 500 plays in the NFL in his first six games.During Polamalu’s rookie season, there was an ongoing narrative of him not being worth the price of the trade and the draft position where he was taken. I’m pretty sure those same people did not sing the same tune after Polamalu’s career had finished. As for Edmonds, he did have a rough start in his first few games, but has vastly improved. Certain football intangibles such as high football IQ, natural instinct, and unwillingness to give up on the play show there is much to be excited about with Edmonds going forward. Does this mean that he will have even half of the success Polamalu had at the same position in his career? I’m not sure, but I will definitely be watching intently.Unfortunately for Terrell Edmonds http://www.pittsburghsteelersteamstore.com/t.-j.-watt-jersey , Troy Polamalu is the only other standard to compare him to as a first-round safety selection for the Pittsburgh Steelers. For the first six games, it seems Edmonds is living up to the standard set before him. But it was Polamalu’s second season when Dick LeBeau returned as defensive coordinator where Troy made his first Pro Bowl in route to a Steelers’ 15-1 regular season record.I personally think Edmunds shows a lot of promise as a safety in the NFL. I don’t expect the enormous jump in year two Polamalu experienced, but continual progression will help to define Edmunds’ career. As long as he is trending in the upward direction, I feel the Steelers could establish having a knack for drafting safeties in the first round. Yay, the bye week is over and your Pittsburgh Steelers are somehow atop the AFC North despite not playing. It is Cleveland week again and my black-and-gold brain is spiraling out of control like a bachelorette party without Zima and a hunky, fake cop with a boom box. So as always, I pass the ravings along to you. But first, I must be a modest monk and seek tranquility for my transgressions of a week ago to and for the following gaffes.Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, but not Homegoods. I hate you for ruining any outing with my wife.A tweener’s hormonesThe imagining of Steelers WRs at Chuck E. Cheese or furniture shopping.Huey Lewis and the NewsMyself for not copyrighting “An Art is Burned”:Making all of you droll over the idea of a bacon burger stuffed with a taco stuffed with a supreme pizza.Comparing James Conner’s “bowling ball” run to making dudes fall down in a Madonna video.And now for the latest installment of Random Thoughts From a Black-and-Gold Mind.I have great respect for Mike Tomlin. Especially his coaching record later in the season, like his 28-16 mark for October. However, I don’t know why I waste time on Tuesdays listening to his press conferences. Like Seinfeld, it’s a show about nothing...but less entertaining. Going forward, every time I have to explain something to get out of hot water with my wife, I’ll just go in Tomlin-mode. After a few “obviouslys”, “popcorn” and “not wanting to paint with a broad brush”, I’ll confuse and Jedi-Mind Trick myself out of peril.Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesSteeler players like Antonio Brown and Ramon Foster have spoken up and voiced their desire for the Steelers to acquire Patrick Peterson from the Cards. While I don’t think the FO will sack-up and go after the superstar cb, they should. Doing so would be awesome like “nudie magazine day” and greatly improve their championship chances while keeping him away from Kansas City and New England. Trading draft picks doesn’t necessarily mean that a team is mortgaging the future. Jarvis Jones, Bud Dupree and Artie Burns are a sample of top choices in the past five years, while Senquez Golson, Sean Davis and James Washington are examples of twos. (You’d probably trade any one of them in a heartbeat for Peterson). When I think about draft picks, I picture Monty Hall and “Let’s Make a Deal”. Behind Door No. 2 Authentic Bud Dupree Jersey , you could win a trip to Maui or get stuck with a year’s supply of Rice-a-Roni...the San Francisco Treat.Former Steeler/Cardinal and P2 cousin, Bryant McFadden, has stated that the Steelers aren’t “players” in a possible deal.I know the Cards say they aren’t trading Peterson, but I tell my kids they can’t have lots of things and still end up not sticking to my guns. Those little scheisters wear me down. But they learned from the best. I had to wear my wife down to even get in a situation for them to be created.Janoris Jenkins and Gareon Conley are CB possibilities as well.The NFL trading deadline has typically been the most quiet of the four major sports, but I think it will start to become more and more like a feeding frenzy a la MLB. Dallas’ trade of a top pick to Oakland for Amari Cooper will open up the floodgates. Ben Roethlisberger, in reference to David Carr, said that it is all right for a man to cry. It’s a good thing because I cried when my kids were born, I cried when Ben found Santonio in the back of the end zone to rescue Lombardi and I cry every time the Steelers play the Patriots.I think Maurkice Pouncey’s comments about sitting back and enjoying the Le’Veon Bell saga are right on. At this point, it’s just become farcical.Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty ImagesMike Mitchell was named the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Week. Chicken Little was right, the sky is falling.The last five Browns head coaches have been fired after losses to Pittsburgh. Wacky Todd Haley could be the next mistake by the lake.Trading Bell will not and can not happen. He’s going to wait untill after the trading deadline to squash such a scenario. It is a shame. They would probably been able to squeeze better value out of No. 26 in this recent trading climate.The biggest thing I hate about social media and blog sites are fans that hide behind their keyboard and spew venom at the players. The latest was a ridiculous reply to a tweet about Mike Hilton’s marriage to his junior high sweetheart during the bye week break. Some moron tweeted the following: “Seriously he should have been practicing because the Steelers defense sucks. Fire tomlin”. People do realize that we don’t own these guys, right? They are allowed to have lives. So congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Hilton. “Renegade” is featured in both Billy Madison and at Heinz Field.And finally...I wonder what else Bryant McFadden is doing these days.Untill next time, song lyrics have notified me that they too are on their bye week, so I ask you to think about Mike Tomlin press conferences and this famous Jim Downey quote from 1995’s Billy Madison...What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it....Probably a bit harsh, but funny nonetheless. Take that for what it’s worth, Don’t stop Shalievin’, O’Doyle Rules and Go Steelers.
