The Pittsburgh Steelers coming in at 7-8 and a season filled with inconsistency and and a lack of play-making ability or even play makers put two in Hawaii. The 2014 Pro Bowl Team was announced on Friday December 27th and the Steelers put Safety Troy Polamalu and WR/PR Antonio Brown in the game after both have had outstanding seasons.
2013 Numbers Troy and Tone 2.0:
#43 SS
15 Gms 65 Tackles 2 Red Jersey Collections 5 Forced Fumbles 2 Interceptions
#84 WR
15 Gms 101 Pigs 1,412 Yds 8 TD
#84 PR
15 Gms 29 Returns 388 Return Yds 13.4 Yd Avg TD 7 (+20 Yd Ret) 5 (+40 Yd Ret)
Polamalu has followed what he said in Training Camp as he was the healthiest he has been since 2009. He was all over the field making plays and back to his old self. He has also made a number of game-changing plays that have keyed a few Steelers Victories. The Steelers now have to answer the question with Cap Issues will they pay Troy what is left or ask him to restructure?
Brown was money well spent as current Aqua Boyz 305 and Ex-Steeler WR Mike "Da Kid" Wallace said no to $42 Million the Steelers slid that cash right over to WR/PR Antonio "Tone 2.0" Brown and he has more than delivered. A Do-It-All WR that can run anything on the Route Tree and is virtually impossible to cover Man to Man. Where Mike Wallace's Speed gave you a concern it's Brown's YAC that scares Defenses as he is a Top 3 in the NFL in the Open Field along with Shady McCoy and DeSean Jackson of the Eagles. Tone also returns as a Punt Returner where he made the Pro Bowl his Rookie Season. He is electric in the Open Field and a former 6th Round Pick...Imagine That!
This will be Troy's 8th Appearance and Brown's 2nd in the Pro Bowl....
