Steelers vs. Jaguars: Jonathan Scott, Doug Legursky Will Start for Pittsburgh's Offensive Line in Week 6
Per Tribune-Review reporter Scott Brown, the Steelers have ruled out LG Chris Kemoeatu, and Jonathan Scott will start at right tackle over injured Marcus Gilbert in Pittsburgh's Week 6 match-up with Jacksonville.
It wasn't reported whether Gilbert will play.
Doug Legursky started for Kemoeatu in the Steelers 38-17 win over Tennessee in Week 5. Legursky played well at left guard, after playing right guard during the 2011 season.
Scott was replaced at left tackle by veteran Max Starks, whose return seemed to solidify the troubled unit. Gilbert went down during the game, and Scott replaced him.
Rashard Mendenhall, who served as an emergency running back last week, looks like he'll be playing this week. Offensive coordinator did say they don't plan to overload Mendenhall, but it seems like he will receive the bulk of the carries this week against the league's 11th-ranked defense.
It was also reported Mewelde Moore's status for the game will be a game-time decision. he was replaced last week by Jonathan Dwyer, who cracked off a 76-yard run. If Moore can't go, Dwyer will get the nod again.
Moore, Gilbert, Kemoeatu all missed practice Thursday, as did NT Casey Hampton and LB Jason Worlids.

Out of all those injuries, to me Worilds is the most frustrating.
I was really looking forward to seeing him in there instead of Harrison while he is injured. Maybe next week

Are you interested in Worilds because...
… You are curious about how he’ll do, or because you’ve seen enough to believe he’s the real deal?
The Nation’s excitement about him has acceerated faster than my own. I haven’t glimpsed what has people revving yet… Can someone explain it to me?

I don't think anyone is revving
I think its more because we want him to do well. We want to see him do where, frankly he hasn’t showed much except he can do a good speed rush and thats about it. He has to get stronger to develop a bull rush and be stronger against the passing game. We want to see that.
I love the Steelers.

Just want to see if Worilds can hack it
To me he was drafted around where we got Woodley, and at this point in his career Woodley was a full time starter and a beast, Worilds is nowhere close to that. Plus he is always hurt as a backup, still early in his career… yes… But I wonder if he will ever be able to start for us

my thoughts exactly
this is the perfect opportunity to see if Jason Worilds has any game, hopefully Chris Carter and Heyward get some time and make some plays, with Harrison and Smith being out. Also seems like McClendon is doing pretty well, didn’t really get to see the game last week. Wonder how long Hampton will be out, and if Hampton is really running out of gas or what

Thus lighting a fire under Worilds’ ass. He needs it.
