See also James Harrison, Lamarr Woodley, Lawrence Timmons, in the interest of saving time anybody who has been the Steelers defense is going to be an exceptional lacrosse player.

As someone who has been apart of two Steeler Super Bowl celebrations in three years I apologize for being blinded by joy.

In regards to Polamula and Reed being better short stick middies, you're right in the secondary but wrong with the position. Cornerbacks would make better defensive middies than safeties. Both the cornerback and the defensive middie are left on an island, set up to fail. Reed and Polamula don't spend all game getting picked on, quite the opposite. Quarterbacks have to look them off or not throw to their side of the field much like how a lacrosse offense chooses to dodge against certain people.

A very famous Blue Jay once told me lacrosse is for kids not athletic enough to play football, he also believed Canadians who play in the NLL aren't talented enough to play hockey, take that for what you will.

My four would be
LSM: Polamula
Close: LaRon Landry, kid tackles people like a great white shark
Close: Shawne Merriman, lights out dance?

I actually think a guy like Hines Ward would make the ultimate SSDM and that a guy like Mike Vrabel would be one heck of a pole down low. knows how to run a D, has the size and speed to cover anyone and has been proven to do well on the other side of the ball so maybe he could be a key transition guy.

Marshall has the height and speed for sure! but does he have the attitude to play defense? I don't think so. he's a baby and a glory boy and I don't think he could ever be convinced to pick up a longpole when he could be playing ATTACK! haha… even if he did pick up the pole, there is no guarantee he wouldn't either just drop it on purpose or punt it and make a coach pick it up.

Randy Moss is 6'4″.

I don't think longsticks are as likely to get backed down nearly as often as they are to get run past, and like Mike Timms showed over the last four seasons, the extra length to keep your stick on Paul Rabil's hands when he's trying to run past you can make a career.

In my opinion, Polamalu and Reed are more cut from the Benson Erwin/JJ Morrissey mold and would be best used as ssdms and wings on the face-off.

Brandon Marshall would be another great longstick option.

What do you think?

Blount playing lacrosse at Oregon? Smart move by the coach if there's truth to that rumor. Perhaps Boise State will suit up Hout on D!

I just don't think Randy would bring the necessary boom stick to get it done. He'd get backed down all day.

on another football/lacrosse note, is there any truth to the rumor that UO lax coach Joe Kerwin is working out LeGarrette Blount at attack?
