Dr Z Posted May 24, 2020 Report Posted May 24, 2020 Nice article by Brooke Pryor The chronic pain radiating in his hip area and lower back told him something was wrong, but it was also a pain the rookie had felt on and off since college. "The linebacker room got real small, real quick," Gilbert said. "And then you just think to yourself, ‘This is my time. I've got to do something to get on the field.' It's really up to me what I want to do. I've got to control what I can control and at the end of the day, if I do those things, I'm hoping I'll be able to play or help Devin [Bush] and Vince [Williams] with the snaps. That's my goal."

Dr Z Posted September 2, 2020 Report Posted September 2, 2020 Gilbert to backup both inside linebacker positions? Quote
Dr Z Posted September 8, 2020 Report Posted September 8, 2020 Not sure how this happened. I'm a little disappointed. I can't imagine Allen playing ILB better than Gilbert in any kind of world. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm guessing I'll be posting an updated chart in the near future reading so. Quote

Let's hope that the Steelers do not appreciate him and he ends up with the Browns!!!!!!! Quote
Dr Z Posted September 8, 2020 Report Posted September 8, 2020 I'm guessing the answer is offensive personnel groups in the early part of the schedule. By the time they play Philly and the Browns, who will run the least 11 personnel grouping in the league, and the most 12 personnel, UGIII will be getting snaps. Quote

zipsfan33 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Posted September 14, 2020 Yes, but it is a little misleading! https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/17570698 1 1 Quote
ZippyforPresident Posted September 15, 2020 Report Posted September 15, 2020 Was really looking forward to seeing him get some reps tonight. My favorite Steeler (obvs). Good dude. Quote
Dr Z Posted September 16, 2020 Report Posted September 16, 2020 Tomlin makes mistake, Gilbert could have been active. Quote
Dr Z Posted September 25, 2020 Report Posted September 25, 2020 Steelers ILB Ulysees Gilbert lll is ready to solve a problem, if he gets the opportunity This week's game against the Houston Texans seems like the perfect opportunity for Steelers LB Ulysees Gilbert lll to make an appearance. 1 Quote

Dr Z Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 Bush out for season should give Ulysees a shot at some defensive snaps Quote
ZippyforPresident Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 UG3 inactive all season thus far apparently? Unfortunate for Bush, but was hoping to see Ulysees get some snaps today. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30141455/pittsburgh-steelers-linebacker-devin-bush-leaves-knee-injury Quote
Dr Z Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 Tomlin in a presser right after the game. "If Devin does have to be down for a while, [players] will be called to step up. He will be among them. Gilbert will be among them. Marcus Allen will be among them. We'll put together a formula that'll allow us to function in the interim. Believe it." 1 Quote

Dr Z Posted November 3, 2020 Report Posted November 3, 2020 From today’s press conference: Later, Tomlin was asked about the availability of inside linebacker Ulysees Gilbert, who was inactive for four of the first five games and then was unavailable for last Sunday's game in Baltimore with a back injury. An issue with his back also hampered Gilbert for a large portion of his rookie season of 2019. "We'll see," answered Tomlin. "It depends on how his back behaves." Quote
LZIp Posted November 3, 2020 Report Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) Steelers just traded for a LB and Spillane has been making plays. In addition to him having an availability problem, seems like his future with the team could be in jeopardy. Edited November 3, 2020 by LZIp Quote

In addition to him having an availability problem, seems like his future with the team could be in jeopardy. I wouldn't jump to that conclusion just yet. If UG is injured again, he will end up on the IR. The Steelers traded for Avery Williamson, who is on the last year of a contract. More than likely, he won't be with the team next year. UG will still be under contract. There are many paths to being a contributor in the league, UG is off to a challenging start, but he has the positive attitude that might just give him the ability to overcome. Quote
zippy5 Posted November 4, 2020 Report Posted November 4, 2020 He went on the IR. Sucks, the opportunity looked like it was here for him Quote
Dr Z Posted December 9, 2020 Report Posted December 9, 2020 Per Steelers.com, Ulysees Gilbert III will practice on Wednesday, Dec. 9, but remains on the Reserve/Injured List. 1 Quote
LZIp Posted December 9, 2020 Report Posted December 9, 2020 Looked like Spillane went down when I had it on in the background. Now might be his chance! Quote
