They might not.

But...your last sentence speaks the loudest...how many have legit starter skills? Mitchell is the only lock to be on the field in Sept. Idt they would've said anything publicly about moving Mitchell to SS or Grant playing S if they thought they were set.

Yea you're probably right.

The forgotten safety in the 2015 Steelers secondary: Isaiah Lewis - Behind the Steel Curtain
Thought that was an interesting read. Reminds me of Holliman, but a better tackler. And from the looks of the video, he has great ball skills.

Good read...thanks.

Looks as if he will be in the mix...hungry.

In a way I kind of like that Shark hasn't been given anything...the best man wins the job.

That's a good way to look at it... But still kinda hard to let go of the bitterness of losing a draft pick to trade up & get a bench player

Not saying that is what it is though

Treat it like a bad golf hole on the front 9...lol.

Yeah, the transaction was a miss...clearly...you wonder who made that call. I would think Tomlin.

LOL...experience is the best teacher, and I've had to get over a lot of bad golf holes on the front 9!

Will Allen says Shamarko Thomas is going to be all right | USA TODAY Steelers Wire

Always good to have support from the vets. But I would feel more confident if the team hadn't went after Swearinger, and if Allen would have said something more like: "He's going to do great" instead of just "He'll be all right"

Thomas: 'I had high expectations' 

Good read. He continues to have the right mindset.

Its hard to not root for the guy.

 

[Superbelt]

He's a good kid, he just hasn't shown an ability to play safety in the NFL so far.

ST play has been generally good though.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Exactly. As we've stated before, its "above the neck" issues that hinder his play. And if he hasn't been able to grasp it at this point, then I doubt it will ever happen.
