    Marcus Gilbert

    What did you guys think of his play today, he is a big body that with work and time I think can be solid.

    Re: Marcus Gilbert

    I thought he was fine and am happy to have him at RT the rest of the season to improve. He has quickness and size to handle the edge rushers out wide, but will need to learn to play lower and with balance to deal with those counter moves (like the one that almost cost Ben his ACL) and the straight bull rushes.

    I still thought Legursky got driven back by Alan Branch a lot when matched up alone on him. It reminded me of Darnell Stapleton or Sean Mahan. I hope Kemo gets back healthy and Foster is able to slide over to RG again.

    I like the "dougy," but I have to agree. He is jusrt over-matched a guard. Let him be our back-up center for the next five years and I am happy.

    This

    Foster even impressed me more than Kemo. At least he doesn't let his laziness show on the field. Leg is a backup, leave him at that

    I was impressed with him today. He made a bad play early allowing a free rusher on Ben but the rest of the game he did well for a rookie

    Think he did alright for his first game. Looking for continued improvement and a solid part of our O line.

    he had some nice blocks on our 1st TD drive where Mendy kept getting those 9-11 yard bursts. After that i couldnt tell with all the mass of bodies in that area.

    Re: Marcus Gilbert

    I though Gilbert did pretty good today...a few times during the game i thought id rather have him at LT and J Scott at RT.

    Foster also looked pretty good...i do not think there was any drop off at LG with Foster in there...what do you guys think?

    Re: Marcus Gilbert

    I thought that Gilbert and Foster both did a decent job. Scott on the other hand continues to disappoint me. I can't believe that we don't have anyone that can do a better job at LT.

    I kept an eye on him a few times. It was somewhat hard to see. A couple times he got a good drive, but I'm sure there are other times he didn't. I'm hoping to have time to go back and watch later on, because I want to focus on Gilbert as well.

    He's a keeper, I think he along with Pouncey will make a solid foundation for a line going into the future.

    Just remember, you'll almost never hear Ben talk bad about his offensive line, even when they let him down like last week. He knows that they need all the confidence they can get. He also knows if they think you don't believe in them, they won't block as hard for you.

    He played prett well for his first game and, mistakes were made. That's to be expected and, next week will be a big test.

    Re: Marcus Gilbert

    He didn't lavish praise on right tackle Marcus Gilbert following the Steelers' 24-0 win against the Seahawks.

    But considering how rarely he talks up rookies, it was significant that coach Mike Tomlin said Gilbert's play Sunday was "above the line."

    "I thought we had some movement there in the first half running the ball on his side," Tomlin said.

    Taking over for Willie Colon, who's out for the rest of the season with a torn triceps, Gilbert got introduced with the rest of the offensive starters yesterday at Heinz Field.

    "Running out of the tunnel, most people don't get an opportunity to do that," the second-round draft pick out of Florida said. "I got my nervousness out (of the way)."

    "I am very proud of the way he stepped up," said quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who challenged Gilbert last week, after the Steelers found out Colon had been lost for the season. "I don't think the game was too big for him."

    Gilbert said he will wait until after watching film before evaluating how he played.

    "I'm never satisfied with what I do because I want to be a great player, and I want to help my team," Gilbert said.

    Re: Marcus Gilbert

    This is why I dont really understand why Colon was signed long term. I think Gilbert is and should be at RT for a long time, but not really sold on him being at LT by next season. Gilbert, Chris Scott, Jon Scott and a decent FA like Bryant McKinnie would have been fine. Maybe Colon ends up at guard.

    if it doesn't happen next year then it will definitely never happen

    We seem to be in good position for that to happen though. If Gilbert proves he can play, and we (likely) draft someone to replace Jon Scott then Colon has to play somewhere, and nowhere better than the place so many have been wanting him to play at

    Marcus Gilbert = new Marvel Smith? I think, or at least hope so.

    We can hope. But, if I remember correctly...Smith apprenticed for a couple seasons at RT while Wayne Gandy played LT. I dont really want to have to deal with Jon Scott at LT for that long.

    That is why I will speak some blasphemy and say that I would have rather that the Steelers took Bulaga and JD walton instead of Pouncey and Jason Worlids with their first 2 picks. Bulaga could be ready to play LT by this or next season.

    I don't think we call look to the draft for help at next years LT. It is extremely hard for a kid to step into that spot his first year. The ones that even have a chance will likely be gone, leaving us with the likes of Andrew Datko, or Levy Adcock. Both fine players but probably a year or two away from LT, if they can even play LT. I think we are kinda cornered for next year. With the price of a starting LT free agent, we will likely see Gilbert move over ( I hope ) or Scott back.
