Guy Whimper

Looks better than Adams or Gilbert ever have.
genuinely surprised

[Ghost]

Agreed. Ben has had some time today. "Above the line"!!!!

[Ernie]

They are all playing better. Run game has even come to life. It scares me that they are letting Baltimore hang around though...

[SidSmythe]

Belchum is our best LT and Whimper is our best RT at this point.

[steelfin]

I thought Beachum played a pretty solid game today. I didn't see or hear too much about Whimper so he must have held his won. Hopefully Adams and Gilbert continue to improve because I would hate to see us waste those high draft picks...but right now I think we stick with Beachum on the left side..

[feltdizz]

I think the board owes Whimper an apology. Lol

[Captain Lemming]

I think the board owes Whimper an apology. Lol

Admit it. We judged him by his name.

Beachum > Adams at LT
Whimper > Gilbert at RT

Why did it take our coaches until the 6th game of the season to figure this out?

[Rara]

Who would have thought that Beachum and Whimper would be better than Adams and Gilbert. Oy...

[grotonsteel]

Surprised by Guy Whimper play....I thought he was the worst O-lineman in NFL...

I hope his injury is not serious.

Then, this begs the question: How was Whimper not ready to step in and play a few weeks ago, if he's our best option at RT right now?

Something still seems very odd about the Steelers' tackle depth chart.

I guess we see why he was still on the roster. We all know Adam's & Gilbert's ceiling is a lot higher than Beachum & Whimper. The good thing about Beachum & Whimper's play is we know they have the ability to push Adams & Gilbert. That may be the best thing that came out of yesterdays showing.

I hear ya, Pappy.

Whimper was certainly more than adequate against the Ravens. Why wasn't he prepared enough to step in against the Vikings when Adams was being abused.

Incidentally, Adams was on the field a good bit on Sunday, and didn't seem to cause any major catastrophe.

Could be any number of reasons. Not enough reps. Slight injury. Crappy last name. Any of those things.

I do wonder about our coaches talent evaluation. How long did it take them to start Cam Heyward?
