Congrats young man. Play smart fast and physical.

Martavis shouldn't be behind Moore.

But steelers sub a lot on offense so they all get plenty of action.

Is Moore listed ahead of Bryant because Moore is the slot guy?

Yes, snap counts for last game put Martavis at 25 and Moore at 21. Also, Tuitt was in on 51 of the 60 defensive snaps last game, Cam Thomas had 11 snaps. And his performance in the Atl game will almost certainly cut his snaps even more, unless there is an injury.

Finally. I expected this earlier in the year. Better late than never.

Stood next to him at the team hotel Saturday night. Big son of a *****. He's gonna be a good one for us. Was glad to see Heyward, Tuitt and McClendon out there at the same time. They did a pretty good job up front. Would like to see more of McCullers but I think his time will come next year and he should ultimately bump McClendon as the starting NT.

I am curious as to whether Cam Heyward stays on the left and Stephon Tuitt stays on the right?

You Go Tuitt !!!! Shine Time............ Glad to see this happening and at a great time for it. Tomlin might be onto or "on" something.

i dont give a damn how they vote

We need more DL depth, but the DL isn't the defenses problem. Heyward, Tuitt, McClendon and McCullers look like a solid core to build from

I'm doing my happy dance...

these guys will have their hands full Sunday. KC runs the ball a lot.

I propose that KC with their 28th ranked run defense should have their hands full with our run game. Now, if they try the Atlanta 11 in or near the box technique, I hope that we will be able to make their 2nd ranked pass defense (yardage) pay.

 

[steelerscotty]

Looks like we finally got: a round Tuitt!

LOL... Funny guy!

I do agree that we have the makings of a studly group on the DLine.

[BLITZ]

this guy is a 1st rd talent. I thought if we traded back in 1st rd he would be our guy. so glad we got him in the 2nd.

 

[slashsteel]

lets get Tu itt!

 

[Stryker]

Do it Tuitt!!!!!

As a side note, since it was mentioned, I'm done with Moore. I'd rather have a taller slot option that can contribute on ST. Time to reactivate Justin Brown.

 

[Steelers1356]

Long overdue.

In reality Bryant and Wheaton share the #2 spot. Moore is behind both.

 

[Steelz]

Correct. Moore is just listed as #3 because in 3 WR sets Moore is the 3rd (slot) WR

 

[Wingman]

I believe Bryant is where he is because of the skill set he has mastered at this point, not his talent. He is still learning the routes and his responsibilities on a lot of the offense and is progressing. The video posted by antdrewjosh really high lights his development so far. As he continues to develop he will continue to move up the depth chart and will likely be the number two guy on the field with A. Brown, he is just not ready for that role yet.

"Tombert" went out this year and got themselves some more dogs. They figured if "Two dogs, one bone" worked so well, why not "three dogs (Bryant, Wheaton and Moore), one bone"? In the cases of Bryant and Wheaton, it seems to have worked because both are now contributing for the most part when called upon.

And when they don't contribute, things probably aren't working out well. They may not have the star power of Ben, Brown or Bell, but are very important parts of the offense.

I agree with this staement.
