PITTSBURGH -- Steelers right tackle Marcus Gilbert said he doesn't understand reigning MVP Cam Newton's complaints about cheap shots when Newton delivers his own hits to opposing defenders.
After absorbing a low hit from tackle Calais Campbell in the Carolina Panthers' win Sunday over the Arizona Cardinals, Newton said he doesn't feel safe at times and planned to file a grievance over late hits to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell because "enough is enough."
Gilbert protects Ben Roethlisberger, who is 6-foot-5 like Newton and has been sacked 450 times in 12-plus seasons.
