    Because it's the Texans. Zone blocking, Arian Foster, etc...

    Tuitt will be seeing a big increase in snaps most likely.

    Tomlin just said in his press conference that he will be an option with McLendon out.

    Yup that is why I was confused. I read that he was indeed an option with McLendon being out..

    They'll probably put him on waivers because the waterboy got crabs from sleeping with the wrong girl up in Shadyside and they need a waterboy really bad.

    Technique or not he can't be worse than Cam Thomas!

    Guess Coach T won't reveal his real plans.

    Probably, Cam Thomas will move to NT and we'll get a taste of what Tuitt can do for us. Really huge test vs zone blocking and A Foster.
    You get advantage having a faster, veteran NT in order to avoid getting zone-blocked, that's probably why they're saying McCullers is not an option.

    I don't get the faster part about McCullers. From the eyeball test he was out there motoring during preseason!

    He needs to be an option. .... Cam Thomas couldn't penetrate a virgin, let alone a real o-line

    I saw him chase one guy down but for the most part he looked clumsy and slow in preseason. Needs seasoning.

    I don't care about his technique. I'd prefer to be embarassing on D if we are producing players for next year.

    Thomas was benched last season for ineffective play. I'm not sure why the Steelers thought he would be different here.

    I just feel like we have to really bottom feed when it comes to the free agency market. We are as poor as Job's turkey. I've seen people in comments on articles I've read talking about how we need to pay more for our free agents but I just wonder where we are gonna get the money. Does anyone know what it would cost us to get rid of Thomas? Did we give him a lot of guaranteed money?

    I don't know how fast he is, but he was certainly hustling.
