Haven't seen his name mentioned in tweets or articles from camp. I realize DE is not a glamor position in the Steelers D. But, have seen info on Tuitt, McLendon, and Heyward but zero on Thomas.
 
I think Tuitt is outplaying him right now. He's not getting a lot of reps with 1st or 2nd team from what I've read/seen.
 
Hmmmm, something smell blistery around here....... (lame I know)



Salute the nation
 
Look Thomas is a good veteran player. I'm sure he's just a lil in remission, being new to the defense. As soon as he learns the D, he will be running around the field making plays like a man whose nuts are on fire!
 
I stand corrected the only stuff I've read about him concerns sexual abuse/STD.
 
He may not be in their plans unless there is an injury after all the other info has hit regarding off the field issues. They still have Arnfelt and may keep him instead. There is also Williams? from last year. If they keep 2 for the nose, 4 ends they may decide the other baggage does not make him worth while. There is also Fangopoo or what ever his name is that can play nose or end I think.
 
I think Cam will make the team, though maybe not as a starter. He has the ability to play all along the line, which makes him a very valuable role player.

Cam is pretty darn near a lock to make the team. I'd call him a lock, but that's an insult to guys like Roethlisberger, Polamalu, Brown, etc.

How many defensive linemen are they going to keep? Heyward, Tuitt, McClendon, McCullers based on the way he is going now. We also have Fangoupo, Arnfelt, Williams from last year 69 Arnfelt, Brian DE 6-4 298 24 2 Northwestern
79 Hemer, Ethan DE 6-6 285 23 R Wisconsin
97 Heyward, Cameron DE 6-5 288 25 4 Ohio State
71 Mauro, Josh DE 6-6 282 23 R Stanford
91 Tuitt, Stephon DE 6-5 303 21 R Notre Dame
67 Williams, Nick DE 6-4 309 24 2 Samford
74 McCullers, Daniel DL 6-7 352 21 R Tennessee
92 Fangupo, Hebron DT 6-0 324 29 2 Brigham Young
65 Lapuaho, Al DT 6-2 301 22 1 Utah State
62 Philon, Roy DT 6-3 291 23 R Louisville
96 Thomas, Cam DT 6-4 330 27 5 North Carolina
90 McLendon, Steve NT 6-4 320 28 5 Troy
I think there are at best 3 positions on the defensive line up for grabs and really would only think 2 show a possibility. I think McCullers is starting to show too much right now and if it continues he would not be able to be stashed on the practice squad, someone would take him. Mclendon is a lock, Heyward is a lock, Arnfelt is a keeper, Tuitt is really doing well. Now there is one spot left and you have Thomas and his baggage, Fangupo, Williams trying for the last spot. I think Williams could still go to the practice squad. When you look at what is there for the total of six positions there is not a lot of room to say this guy is a lock. Tuitt seems like he may really be something so he could definitely be a starter this year if it continues. He has talent and seems to work hard.
