While the Pittsburgh Steelers collectively stumbled out of the block to start the season, some individual players did not. Among those was right guard David DeCastro, who was perhaps the Steelers’ best lineman, both in terms of consistency and impact, which was felt from the opening play of the game.
Off the snap, DeCastro and Marcus Gilbert doubled teamed the defensive end, and, once he was controlled, moved to the second level to get just a piece of the middle linebacker, which helped to open the cutback lane for DeAngelo Williams.
