    Anybody remember the #1 concern about Stephon Tuitt coming out of college? He put on bad weight as a senior (with the help of an injury) and wasn't in shape. So which Tuitt would we see? Svelte and spry 2012 Tuitt, or sluggish 2013 Tuitt?

    “[Tuitt]'s definitely going to get a significant amount of playing time,” LeBeau said. “He's shown us a lot of athleticism for a big guy, and he's in great shape. He can run all day.” - Dick LeBeau

    MAN is that good to hear. :) I was a little resigned to the idea that Tuitt would come along in the more traditional Steelers rookie way... 4 snaps a game this year, 10 snaps a game in year 2, starter in year 3. Glad to hear Tuitt is closer to going the Ryan Shazier route than the Cam Heyward route.

    I loved that part of the article, we all knew Shazier was going to start but I thought Tuitt was going to be brought along slowly as usual for a DE. Also love that Troy will be back to roaming around wreaking havoc.

    LeBeau has to make adjustments because he doesn't have all those experienced veterans anymore, they can't afford to have the rookies sit for 2-3 years. They should've started Heyward sooner IMO.

    Hes making adjustments because the game is changing and because he has the personnel to do it with. People don't think DL knows what he is doing, he's more knowledgeable about football then anyone here can ever hope to be.

    Tuitt is in great shape. He will be the starter before the year is over.

    Yep, IMO DL hasn't been "DL" lately because he hasn't had the personnel to do what we all know his defense is capable of doing. That should all change now :)
