My friend is a Falcon fan and we were having a lengthy and interesting discussion on which A&M tackle you'd take in the long run. Both are almost identical in terms of their age, and played very similarly when they were Aggies. If you had to pick one to protect Bortles for the next decade, which one are you going with?
I had Joeckel graded a touch higher. He has slightly better feet and is a little nastier in the run game.
I don't know much about Matthews since we had drafted Joeckel last year. I paid very little attention to LTs in this years draft buildup since I never believed we would take one. That being said, didn't Joeckel start at LT over Matthews at A & M? Both will probably be good players, like most LTs taken in the top 10

Thank God we got the expert's opinion.
As a QB, Manziel had it made. Dude was essentially taking naps in the pocket when they played Florida.

AT OLT, I like Joeckel better. At ORT, I'd have liked Matthews better.

I wouldn't say that. Manziel was sacked 3 times and his offense was shut down in the second half. There are a lot of better examples than that Florida game if looking to boast of TAMU's offensive line - not that they were terrible or anything.
Where's Jungle Cat when you need him?

Hopefully gleefully crossing the event horizon somewhere.

LOL, +1 :thumbsup: My first thought too.
On topic though, have we seen enough from either to say for sure? I would think not.

This.
So, the answer to Joeckel or Matthews is...
yes
Why, do we have a choice?

Curled up in the fetal position in his teddy underoos. He is jamming a needle into an Andre Branch voodoo doll, and chanting. That is when he's not drooling or panting.
In all serious, who do ya'll think is better out of the two of them?
