5. Terry McAulay
During this NFL season, there have been a number of horrible calls. Even the use of instant replay hasn’t helped most of the time. No matter who you are rooting for, let’s hope Terry McAulay and his crew aren’t the center of attention after the game is over.
4. Matt Leinart
If Matt Leinart plays, the Cardinals will lose the game. Leinart, who backs up Kurt Warner at quarterback, isn’t horrible but every Cardinals fan in existence will hope that he stays put on the sidelines for the duration of the Super Bowl.
3. Mike Tomlin
The Steelers seem to have taken on Mike Tomlin’s personality. They are tough, well organized, disciplined and work hard to win games. If Tomlin cracks under the pressure of the Super Bowl, you can expect his team to follow.
2. Edgerrin James
Though it is almost certain that Edgerrin James’ best days are behind him, he could be a key for the Cardinals. The Steelers are very hard to pass the ball against so James may be asked to carry the load. If he can have a vintage performance in the running game and block well for Warner, the Cardinals have a shot.
1. Troy Polamalu
If you watched Troy Polamalu versus the Ravens, you could see just how much he can be a one-man wrecking crew. With Warner’s right arm being so dangerous, it’ll be up to Polamalu to come up big and have Warner second guessing himself.
