    Steelers checking out Donald Thomas, Jarrett Brown

    [url="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/"]http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/ca ... umor-mill/[/url]

    by Mike Florio

    Last year, guard Donald Thomas appeared in 16 games and started 12 for the Dolphins.

    This year, Thomas is a man without a team.

    Though he has generated some interest, Thomas has yet to sign a contract. His next chance will come via a visit to the Steelers, per a league source.

    Thomas entered the league as a sixth-round pick in 2008.

    The Steelers also will be bringing in former West Virginia quarterback Jarrett Brown for a workout. And former West Virginia quarterback Pat White remains unemployed, by any football teams, that is.

      I think Donald Thomas would be a good addition to the team. That would allow them to swing Ramon Foster back outside to his natural position of tackle. Anytime the team is looking into a player I am happy about it. Who would the team cut to bring Thomas in though? They are being proactive....that is what good teams do. Jarrett Brown.....I think we will pass but you never know, maybe PS??

        We only sign black QB's now. It's a rule.

          Well, since the powers that be are so prejudiced against big, bad white QB's, can you blame us?

          Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

          Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

          We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

          We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

              I hope that's not the case because I would really like to see the Steelers win a few more Super Bowls in my lifetime.

                I know it doesnt hurt to look, but this is weird for the Steelers. They are more active than Chadman in Fantasy Football and believe you me, that is a lot!

                  I would think they'd be looking at Thomas as a Center/Guard prospect...kicking the tires on Jarrett Brown makes sense to me with both Batch & Leftwich doubtful to be with the team next year.
                  It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...

                    Scoff if you will, but the active use of the Waiver Wire has won Chadman a few FF comps- particularly useful when you have some glaring weaknessess on the roster...

                      I wasn't scoffing, merely pointing out the glaring resemblance between u and the Steelers......If not for the fact I am ALWAYS last in waiver position, I would have more moves than u...
