124 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 And you'll never guess the fourth after the three obvious (Polamalu, Reed and Sanders) that are before him. 1. Bob Sanders 2. Ed Reed 3. Troy Polamalu 4. Antoine Bethea ??? -- Good player, but better than Rhodes? Seriously? 5. Kerry Rhodes Top 5 Tandems in the AFC at Safety: 1. Colts - Sanders & Bethea 2. Ravens - Reed & Dawan Landry 3. Titans - Chris Hope & Michael Griffin 4. Steelers - Polamalu & Ryan Clark 5. JETS - Rhodes & Abram Elam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes finished last season very strong, but the first half of the season he was invisible. I really like the second one. I think Elam played very well once he got the start last season, and is going to be a fixture for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe five years ago when he could stay on the field and had more speed you could possibly put his name into that discussion, but not now. Not for a while now.

Not just a couple of games....not really surprised @ this though we never get respect. You have a point on Polamalu's play last season, but a lot of these things are based on name recognition. To paraphrase Parcells, he said something along the line of, "A player makes the Pro Bowl, three years after he deserves to, and stays three years to long" I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To paraphrase Parcells, he said something along the line of, "A player makes the Pro Bowl, three years after he deserves to, and stays three years to long" I agree Thats true because of the popularity vote. Kerry Rhodes is just now busting onto the scene in NFL circles. I'd expect a Pro Bowl invite sent to him this season now that his name has been flowing around for two seasons.

Gainzo Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Sorry but Polamalu is extremely overrated. Rhodes should be 3 easily. Polamalu always bites on play action. I agree with you that Rhodes should be rated higher than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right though, the Rats will find some new way to cheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillerPaul Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Sorry but Polamalu is extremely overrated. Rhodes should be 3 easily. Valid point but i would argue Troy's more utilized the wrong way than overrated. He hardly ever gets to play the true S position. LeBeau usually has him roving all over near the LOS when IMO he should just let the guy play S and be done with it. With his speed he can match up with any WR as well.

stoicsentry Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I disagree. No one could have stopped Tyree from making that catch. It was Divine intervention to display that in the end evil will not prevail Funny thing, wasn't it? Not a religious guy, far from it, but stuff like that will make you wonder sometimes. First off, it's just an amazing catch in general. Second, David Tyree is just...some guy, meanwhile that catch would have been nearly impossible even for a T.O. or Moss to pull off. Add to that the famous Eli escape which occurred in the very same play in such a clutch position. WOW. Maybe Kerry Rhodes should be higher on the list, but the real surprise for me is listing Rhodes & Elam as the #5 AFC Safety tandem. I mean I know he's had a terrible thing happen to him so we all want to be nice but... Abram Elam, really? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
