With the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line dealing with a host of injuries this season, I fear we haven’t called enough attention to the fine play of Ramon Foster, David DeCastro, and especially Marcus Gilbert. The right tackle struggled last year after being signed to a lengthy extension, but the continued coaching of Mike Munchak has clearly had a big impact on Gilbert’s game, especially as a pass protector.
Alex Kozora has credited Gilbert with just one allowed sack this season, that actually came in two separate games where the offensive lineman gave up half-a-sack on each occasion.
