Quietly, Pittsburgh Steelers tackle Marcus Gilbert has put together a solid season as the former second-round draft pick has only given up one half-sack in the team’s first seven games, according to our very own Alex Kozora. While Gilbert has faced quite a few of the league’s top pass-rushers so far this season, he’ll really be tested Sunday at Heinz Field as he’ll be in charge of protecting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger from Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap.
Gilbert and Dunlap should know each other well by now as not only have they squared off several times on Sundays during their professional careers, they were also college teammates at the University of Florida.
