According to John Mitchell.

Looking forward to seeing what he can do. However, this is not a power rushing team that the Steelers are playing this week. It would be interesting to see him against a team that likes to run between the guards...like the Steelers.

I hope that means Tuiit get more time over Thomas.

[K Train]

Wow, awesome...anything to keep thomas off the field even a little

[Shawn]

Best news I have heard all week. About time.

McCullers as the #2 NT is a step in the right direction. However it may be more of the coaches finally soured on Cam Thomas. Thomas stays on his feet but he gets ridden out to easily for one so large. Besides imho McCullers though not fleet of foot has better range then CT. Brian Schwenke is a 6-3 318 2nd yr center from Cal that McCullers will be up against. If we can win that match up we should have a good day.

[Shawn]

I expect McCullers to look lost while leaving a wake of pancakes in his path.

[K Train]

schwenke can move pretty well, but the difference between thomas and mccullers is thomas can lose his battle and get put on skates...mccullers cna lose his battle and not move backwards at all.....could be a huge difference.

Still id limit expectations

Sucks that McLendon's shoulder injury will prevent him from playing.

Interesting that McCullers' first NFL start will be where he played his college ball, though.

Tuitt's snaps have fallen the past two weeks from 24 to 17 to 7.

That's twice now they've rushed him back to have him re-injure it.

Yep and that's crazy.

No need to play him down against the jets. Tuitt is a much better pass rusher than run defender at this stage

[RuthlessBurgher]

Tuitt's snaps have fallen the past two weeks from 24 to 17 to 7.

Since Tuitt plays more nickel and dime than base, it makes sense that he played less against the Jets (Vick only threw the ball 18 times) than against the Colts and Ravens (Luck and Flacco threw the ball 45 times each trying to keep up with Ben's 12 TD passes in those 2 games).

McClendon has been playing some good ball as of late. But, I am very anxious to see the Mount get some PT.
