Report: Polamalu will play despite more "concussion-like" symptoms
I haven't yet seen the play, forgot to watch for video and can't see video at work, but I'm led to understand he "clearly" was knocked out for a moment on the field.
This is a bad situation Pittsburgh has been doing. Mocking Roethlisberger for his concussion and pretending that Ward, (some DB last year), Polamalu (twice) don't have concussed symptoms and putting them right back out genuinely concerns me. It seems to be an organizational issue, given the repeated instances of pooh poohing the severity of it. I hope it doesn't bite the players in the backside and lead to permanent and long term damage. TroyP is one of my favorite players in the NFL, even though he bugs the shit out of me because he's so effing good. I can't express enough how tragic it would be if he ended up debilitated because of pressure to play. This would be his fourth, or fifth, concussion if all were reported honestly.
Even if the Steelers weren't our opponent this week, I would still say this.

is it wrong to hope we run at him with peko blocking and benson squaring up on him?

They want him to play and of course he wants to play. He is a warrior
Long after this game is forgotten it is possible that Troy will suffer consequences. There is a dark under belly to this game. It is a story of greed and misplaced loyalty. It is entirely possible that Troy really is fine and will be fine, but I hope that the Steelers and their organization have weighed the possibilities against the quest for victory. I have great respect for Troy. He appears to be as fine of a person as he is a player and I hope he lives long and healthy enough to play with his grand children If he were my son, I wouldn’t want him to play.
