It still kills me that we totally screwed the pooch on Polamalu. If he turned out to be even a poor man version, it would be great. To have a feared thumper there and then let Weddle roam and do his thang as FS. One can dream...

Not to burst too many bubbles, but I don't think we will see Mager at S anytime soon. They drafted him to play nickle DB, and since SS puts him further away from the action, I don't think we will see him there until he proves he can't play CB.
The other thing is that he is not a huge hitter as much as he is a wrap up tackler. In that sense, he is more like Weddle then Troy. Troy is more of the big hitter type, but who also misses when he goes to light people up. Weddle, while not as spectacular, is a far better tackler (overall), because he misses a lot less. But you don't get the ESPN highlights as much either.
