They even show how well he handled Peppers 1 on 1 during 1 play. That's something Adams couldn't do for most of the night with a lot of the pressure coming from Ben's left all night.
Gilby may not work hard, but I think he's the more talented of the 2 tackles. As I see him progressing and Adams regressing, I wonder if the Steelers pulled the plug on Gilby on the left too soon? It's almost like the Steelers have the entire OLine completely backward and both tackles and guards should flip sides. Seems like it would even be more natural to have Foster on the right and DD pulling from the left.
I know switching players now would be a cluster fudge, but I'd roll with L-R - Gilby, DD, Fernando, Foster, and Beachum/Adams.
