With Polamalu and maybe even Araon Smith returnig our defense will be almost unbeatable. If we get Smith back then that will eliminate running on us. For a team to beat us they will have to pass it down our throats, so looks to me like the Pats and maybe the Saints are the only 2 teams that can beat us.

With Polamalu and Smith- Best defense in the league. Bar none.
Without Polamalu- Around 6th or 8th.
Without Smith- Around 6th or 8th.
Without Both- Around 10th-12th.
With Smith healthy and in the lineup, LeBeau is much more aggressive in his blitzes, and it doesnt give QB's time to throw. Smith is every bit as important or possibly even more important than Troy to our defense, and this is coming from **** LeBeau.
