Marcus Gilbert

So far this year he has been our best lineman. He has yet to give up a sack and has only been flagged once. Also over the last 10 games he has given up 1 sack. Maybe the Steelers knew what they were doing when they gave him his contract. http://www.steelersdepot.com/2015/10/marcus-gilbert-the-unsung-hero-of-the-steelers-offense/

 

Shhhhhh..... Don't jinx it....

 

Anyone know the penalty and sack stats for DD?

 

Gilbert sucks. Awful.

 

Might be smart to keep that right side intact and have the left as more of a revolving door. Cheaper that way. Top RT/RG money is less than LT/LG money.

Good to see Gilbert get some recognition, and I don't think it's a fluke. This is the professional football player that he's become.

 

I was just going off the article I'm not one to go dig and see.

 

http://www.steelersdepot.com/2015/10/steelers-film-room-chris-hubbard-vs-ravens/ it's not all roses for gilbert from what i can see from some of this tape. i'm not saying he's not playing a little better but let's not anoint him as all pro yet. there is tape that says otherwise. one of these sacks could easily be on him. some others he blocks nobody.

http://www.steelersdepot.com/2015/10/steelers-film-room-david-decastro-vs-ravens/ some more to watch if you'd like. foster is bad and unaware at times. we sure ain't there yet with this group.

 

We got what we got... Some good stuff, some head scratchers... Foster in my opinion is garbage. He's the lone lineman to keep his head on the reverse tilt looking back and forth at Ben before the play. Surprised he hasn't cost us 10 false starts a game. I said the same thing 3 years ago, maybe it's the norm to be a rain bird sprinkler head when the rest of the line good or bad has their nose pointing forward?

 

He's the least in shape, least athletic, biggest whiner... Atleast whiner in
practice mode that we got

 

he's just slow. always late to his block dob. he's a terrible fit for the mobility of our other linemen. we are thin though at that spot so it is what it is. i'm so tired of having to look at our line as oh this guy had a good play and then the next he looks like he's never played before. we could be much better on this front across the board. i just wonder what munch could do with some real solid linemen and how much better they could be then. maybe al and bj can become what we need in the future and we keep adding guys until they get it right. hopefully pouncey being back will help, dd seems solid and in a year or two we will see some of these guys come around. it's not the worst we've seen but it's far from the best. i hope we keep upgrading spots for munch to work with.

 

I think that may be some kind of communication thing between him and Ben, which Foster then relays to the center of when to snap the ball on silent counts.

 

At least you could have upgraded him to hot garbage lol. In all seriousness .. Imagine if we did not have Munchak

 

Now you've gone and dunnit! Yer given away Haley's secrets

 

I figured it was a scheme thing helping Ben and the line with adjustments, but it just really stuck out to me. And honestly am surprised it hasn't gotten us flagged with these trigger happy refs

 

It's legal every line in the NFL does it.

 

I hear ya just used to being the exception when it comes to rules and what everybody else does... Hahahah

 

maybe Foster is tempting Wallace to "do the thing he does best"

 

Decastro/gilbert/pouncey...now we need two more studs

 

If Villanueva continues to grow we could have another one in him. He has the size to be awesome.

 

I read today on Steelers Depot that Foster graded out as a Top 5 this week on PFF. I wish all of our linemen would manage to grade out high all at once though. Would that be too much to ask?
