Tuitt is the exception to the rule "Can't make the club in the Tub."
Yeah really when will Tuitt be back? I have no clue what is going on with him but never a bad thing looking for more help.
Man think it was kaboly? Was on the radio saying they expected him back after the bye.
Think it was after the death of a family member…not sure its an injury?
Since signing his contract he's averaging $12m per year and averaging just under 12 games started per year... 47 total starts out of a possible 64... Yea that's rough
I've heard from different sources that its a combination of the death of his brother, poor conditioning (as a result of missing TC), and a tweaked knee (likely another result of poor conditioning)... So in reality its all a snowballing effect of the death of his brother
EDIT... This isn't including this year. So actually its 47 starts out of a possible 69 (nice)... ~68% availability
yeah, thats quite tough. Regardless, would love to see him back
Agreed. Big driving factor for why I floated the trade idea around this past offseason. Still wouldn’t be opposed but it’s less likely at this point
Would Pickett realistically be in reach though? Before this season I think he was a 2nd-3rd Rd projection, but his current rate of ascension puts him top 10 easy. He would need to stumble a few times to put himself in the 15-18 range where a 8 to 9 win team would be. But I might be holding him on a higher pedestal than scouts/analysts.

If they can trade up for Devin Bush, they can trade up for a QB. (whether it's Pickett or anyone else.)
Well damn. Even though I don't want to give up Ingram I am still very interested to hear what is being offered. I don't think the Steelers have been using the 3 OLBs sets nearly as much as they used to, but they will need it against divisional opponents that can run the ball better. Schobert & Bush don't seem to be helping against the run.Wonder if the Mercilus interested was tied to this at all?
And really if there was room to improve another part of the roster why not move him at this point. If not keep him because he will be needed when an injury strikes.
Steelers’ Melvin Ingram Drawing Interest
The Steelers have been receiving trade inquiries on pass rusher Melvin Ingram, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport. Even though Ingram …
3rd rounder? Sure.
Yea I don't know if they could say no to a 3rd Rd pick... Especially not a team who prides themselves in building through the draft. But if they are serious about this being the last hoorah with Ben then I don't think they can give up Ingram. If they do then I'd be inclined to believe they are giving up on this year... Which realistically isn't a bad idea at this point.
Yeah if they could get a 3rd for him then do it.
One of the few games I actually rewatched this year was against Cincy. Ingram was pretty solid vs. Cincy but the biggest problem was Butler primarily only rushed 4... And he was trying really hard to move Ingram around and sending different LBers to "probe" their OL to see where the weaknesses were... Which there weren't too many. Ingram & Heyward were still generating pressure, but Butler thinking he could continue his success with 4 rushers without the likes of Watt & Highsmith was arrogance.
