'11 GA DE Stephon Tuitt (Signed Notre Dame LOI)

arrowryan · Jul 26, 2014

It's unlikely that he starts but I guess there is always a chance. Even if he doesn't start, he should definitely get his fair share of snaps

arrowryan · Aug 3, 2014

I know it's still just training camp, but he's been practicing with the 1st team defense recently. Idk the last time a rookie has started at DE in Pittsburgh

dwshade · Aug 3, 2014

Mike Tomlin generally doesn't like talking up rookies but even he can't hide his enthusiasm for Tuitt.

GBdomer · Aug 3, 2014

Amazing what a little effort to get back into shape can do.

Meacon Irish · Aug 3, 2014

Still a little heartbroken he isn't at Culver Academy right now.

tbh tuitt being at ND for a senior season means he would be twice as flaky/worrying about the NFL as he was last year. they are better off without him

Sigh. Wish I didn't agree.

Maybe we share the Irish cynic gene, or maybe (methinks) you speak the unvarnished truth. In either event : Reps, Sir!

Damn he looks like he's in prime shape. Steelers a great place for him to end up.

Biggest steal of the 2014 draft

Whenever an NFL team gets a "steal" in the draft, that also means someone got robbed. In this case, it was ND and Stephon. I'm not inclined to celebrate that.

kmoose · Aug 9, 2014

Started in his first pre-season game, tonight, with the Steelers. Nice job winning a place in the starting lineup so quickly, Stephon!

Anyone see Tuitt on The League?

Yeah, he made a solid 30 second appearance, which was pretty cool. Funny episode.

BeauBenken · Sep 4, 2014

Shit. Going to have to watch it. How many episodes in to this season is The League?

Sherm Sticky · Sep 4, 2014

First episode lol.

Steelers' Stephon Tuitt could start playing bigger role

Pittsburgh Steelers' Stephon Tuitt could start playing bigger role - ESPN

Looks like he is about ready to contribute more for the Steelers based upon his development. Given his athletic ability, he could be a starter when the game starts slowing down for him.

Bout time. Go get Tuitt!

I really wish he would have been in shape last year because he could have been the best D linemen to play at ND in a while. Since I've been alive at least. Happy to see he is doing well, still wish he would have came back this year. He is a glaring miss in ND's defense when he is 100% into it.

irishog77 · Oct 15, 2014

ACamp still says Anthony Vernaglia is the best ND DL he ever saw.

John Ryan was the best ever, unless you are Charlie Weis.

he hasn't really been doing that well. he has like 3 tackles on the season and wasn't even in the DL rotation for the first portion of the season. i would have expected more. I guess them bringing back Keisel was a sign that Stephon wasn't ready to contribute.

He was a steal as I recall that recruiting season.

ACamp1900 · Nov 6, 2014

So I just saw he is a member of the IE facebook group... does big guy take part/lurk round these parts???

I initially missed the subtlety of this post, dude. :smilewink

He has really stepped up since replacing the injured Brett Kiesel. He has probably solidified a starting spot on the d-line for next year as well. Still can't believe fell that so far in the 2nd round

Great pick up to be able to get him that low. Good franchises consistently have good drafts.

Having good scouts is the way to go.

Just had a big fumble recovery to help get Pitt back in the game. Kid is coming on strong late this year.
