SHAMARKO THOMAS
Strong Safety
The Steelers drafted him because they saw him as a safety capable of playing well against the run, and also as a safety they can use in coverage depending upon the offensive personnel and the down-and-distance. On Monday night at FedEx Field, Shamarko Thomas (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/team/roster/shamarko-thomas/5cb3b5e6-1b08-4371-8316-0bf10dd8a3a1/) showed he can be up to the task.
On a second-half running play, Thomas knifed into the backfield and hit RB Chris Thompson to force a fumble that Terry Hawthorne (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/team/roster/terry-hawthorne/f7b19889-f4a6-4e7e-a4c3-5859971a5393/) recovered. On the subsequent series, on a third-and-8, Thomas was in man-to-man coverage on WR Nick Williams. When Williams caught a short pass on a crossing route, Thomas made the tackle for a 2-yard gain to force a punt. Thomas finished with six tackles and the forced fumble.
