Arians is senile
by No l Gravity l » Fri Dec 02, 2011 1:53 pm
The Steelers picked Gilbert in the second round of this year's NFL draft and had been grooming him to play left tackle. They plugged Gilbert in at right tackle after Willie Colon went down with a season-ending arm injury in the season opener.
"He's actually a better run blocker than Flo right now," Arians said of Flozell Adams, who played right tackle last season. "Flo did an unbelievable job with what he had left in his body last year. His mass covered up people more than he moved them. Marcus is getting movement, and he and Ramon (Foster) have become a pretty solid side as far as run blocking."
Arians has been criticized for being too enamored with the pass. And when asked about talk by the running backs that they would like more opportunities, Arians smiled.
"Run it better, we'll run it more," he said. "It's just like the passing game every receiver wants it. It's a nice problem to have."

Marcus Gilbert is better than Flozell at run blocking? That's Flo's bread and butter. I'd argue he was the best RT last season. Mendenhall nearly had 1,300 yards and 13 TDs to go with that almost exclusively running from his side. Now he's on pace for 800 (I'm not even sure if he's going to get that). Seriously, what is this moron doing in our coaching staff?
"Run it better" and we'll "run it more?"
Evidence says otherwise:
2nd and 8 - (10:49) 34-R.Mendenhall up the middle to KC 42 for 8 yards (34-T.Daniels).
Nice chuck of yardage. Very rare for Socrates this season? Can you guess play happens immediately after this?
1st and 10 -(10:07) 7-B.Roethlisberger pass deep right intended for 84-A.Brown INTERCEPTED by 34-T.Daniels at KC 14. 34-T.Daniels pushed ob at KC 39 for 25 yards (34-R.Mendenhall).
No rhythm. No run game. Fire Arians.

That's right up there with
"When the moral improves the beatings will stop."
Brilliant.
