    Gilbert aka Baby Huey

    Is a beast in run blocking... I just rewatched the game and the kid can road grade. Still don't trust him in pass protection and durability is a concern.

    I currently have 337 better more proven NFL O-Linemen in the league then Gilbert is. And 93 of those are currently Unemployed. Thats all you need to know about Gilbert! Total waste of space. Mike Golic Jr would be a better and more PROVEN NFL RT/G then Gilbert!

      I worry more about Adams manning the left side. Worilds is quick, but I worry he's not the quickest guy in the world off the edge and he may be making Adams look better than he really is in practice. Woodley's not a speed guy on the other side either and I don't think he's really exposing Gilbert just yet.

      This is probably my biggest concern. We're not really getting a good read on our guys because our defenders aren't creating the matchup problems that will give these tackles problems on the outside.

        I want some of that stuff you've been smoking...

        This kid was the greatest weapon our opponents had all of last season. He singlehandedly caused more damage than any team. Every time I saw him within 6 feet of another linesman or running back or the QB, I cringed. He's a walking disaster, and can lay the entire O to waste.

          On that note, I bet Steeler Nation would be pretty happy if Gilby started hanging out within 6 feet of William Gay at all times.

            I'm a big fan of the "Baby Huey" connection.

                  Yes. I'd like to see that list, too.

                    As long as he is falling forward. I also focused on him and saw him get bull-rushed and knocked way backwards and out of control of himself.

                      Not impressed with Mr. Gilbert. But since we have little depth, I hope he turns it around and becomes a bona-fide road grader in the running game, and a mauler (of opponents) in the passing game.

                        I haven't seen the replay yet but heard the same thing - that he really moved some people at times.

                            I have NO LOVE for Gilbert... but I will give him credit when it's due. The guy can run block pretty well..... everything else is a problem though.

                            I just felt the need to make 1 positive post for him this year. The rest will be "Gilbert hurt again"

                              That would be better than "DeCastro hurt by Gilbert again."
