Healthy Season Still Eludes Marcus Gilbert Heading Into Year Five

Marcus Gilbert has been the primary starting right tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers in each of his first four seasons. While there are many who still question his physical abilities on the field in light of his prolonged starting experience, we did see him take strides last season under the tutelage of new offensive line coach Mike Munchak.

Some of the mechanical and technical issues that existed in his game had been tweaked and minimized over time, although he did get off to a rough start, giving up a few sacks within the first few games before finally settling down in pass protection.
