More disappointing appearance on the PUP list: Casey Hampton after being warned by Coach Tomlin to lose weight, or Troy Polamalu after his extensive offseason conditioning program?
Well, anyone that didn’t see Polamalu’s woes coming the second they saw his name in the same sentence as Marv Marinovich’s is insane. So that’s disappointing, especially considering Polamalu’s health problems last year, but not surprising to me. The Hampton matter will be a non-issue by the end of camp. The man is a proven Pro-Bowler, and if Tomlin wants to send a message by PUP-listing him, so be it. It’s not like he needs to run much on any given play, and to a certain extent, it’s his job to be fat. Let the man eat and continue commanding double teams. Polamalu is by far the more disappointing story.
