Gilbert’s Excellent Season Faces Its’ Biggest Challenge

It wasn’t that long ago that Marcus Gilbert started a season about as poorly as you could. Through the first two games he was rated one of the worst offensive tackles in football and his future seemed to be in doubt.

Fast forward to week 14 of the 2015 NFL season and there was Gilbert getting beat for a sack in Cincinnati. If you thought to yourself, “Oh way to go Gilbert!” then you might not have realized that was his first sack given up all season. Kind of hard to believe huh? Under the tutelage of Mike Munchak, Gilbert’s game has flourished at right tackle.
