I just turned over to 970 ESPN to listen to Tunch and Wolf. They talked briefly about the OL and what they've been witnessing in camp. Now granted, it is early as they haven't even played a preseason game yet, but by all accounts, Tunch and Wolf are both loving what they are seeing at camp. Most notably, the discussion on Marcus Gilbert. They say he is having a tremendous camp so far, and his pass blocking has improved.. Tunch says he's noticed his stance has changed a bit and Wolf mentioned his hands are coming up alot quicker because of that and he's engaging his defender alot faster than in the past........
I would say this is the direct result in our change in OL coaches..... Kudos to the Steelers for bringing in Munchak.....Tunch is saying his presence alone has raised the bar......
They were also talking about the athleticism along the OL, they all have slimmed down a bit. DeCastro is a mean, slimmed down OG at 315lb ..... Gilbert is on a diet and doesn't even eat red meats....Any of you see Beachum eating water melon on his FB page? Gee whiz, the kid looks so young....
Looking forward to seeing if all this positive news follows through into the regular season.....
