Steeler Offensive Line

Remember a long time ago in a land far away we used to post bad things about them?

 

They didn't exactly play good today

 

they pass protected well enough, I thought. I noticed Adams was not good a few times. He totally wiffed on a block that Bell lost 5 yds on.

 

I saw Pouncey and Decastro getting pushed back a lot today. I was really surprised because Atlanta doesn't have much of a pass rush most other weeks

 

I've thought overall they've had a good and healthy year for once. Has it been perfect? No! But no OL in the league is perfect. I think they will only get better the more they're with Munchak.

 

I think this is the key statement. They're staying healthy. It had to be rough the last couple years working with a different combination of lineman every week.

 

Man Adams is driving me crazy with giving up those batted balls! WHY can he not just force his guy's hands down?! Also it seems most of Ben's pressure comes from his side. Still though do you think Gilbert is the starter when he gets back?

 

This is kind of a silly comment. You were surprised because Atlanta does not have much of a pass rush.. Hmm.. Looked like they did today lol

I get the reference just found the comment funny.. Each and every game we have every played and every other team has played this year and last has not been the team we though they would be..

 

I think it is highly possible that our guys put enough on film to boost the confidence of the opposing d line. Also with how Bell has been playing it means people are gonna attack us up front even more and that, in a weird way, puts more pressure on the o line.

 

I bet Gilbert gets his job back though because he's the one making the money.

 

heck, I'd trade them both for a bottle of Gatorade.

 

This.
I've actually be semi-happy with his performance of late. It seems like the line has played better overall once Adams replaced Gilbert. Adam's still has his moments. I think he's a better run blocker than Gilbert, and his pass blocking has improved. I wouldn't put Gilbert back in unless Adam's falls apart (which could happen at any moment).
