The Seven-time Pro Bowler continues to be a worry for offenses everywhere, as he is always on the move. When you look at the line, he is always crouching up on the defense and getting to the QB, most of the time without any resistance. Gronkowski agrees as he spoke to espn.com
"It's just unbelievable, the knack he has for the game of football. The way he busts into a gap, you don't know what gap he's going to bust in. He can come flying down into the line. He's an unbelievable player and you've got to watch out for him and watch out for him on every play."
When playing someone like Polamalu, you have to be watching. He has no set role so he can come out of anywhere and surprise you. He will do that to. Tom Brady also chimed in on his ability to be anywhere at any time
"You just can't take him for granted, you have to keep your eyes out and keep your eyes open for him and then hope you get a guy to block him. He's a great player."
This Sunday, Polamalu will be a focus, and the Patriots know he is someone to watch closely
