Quote:I disagree. Joeckel never seemed all that comfortable at ORT. His skill set is better for OLT. People even said, that Joeckel looked better in the short time he was at OLT in that game, and more so - practice leading up to that game than he had all season at ORT. I think a combo of Joeckel/ Matthews blows away a combo of Monroe/ Joeckel. 

 

If the Jags make good use of the 4th and 5th it doesn't matter who was got first and how. 

 

Maybe because Joeckel has been playing LT his entire career and RT for only a few months? In time, it would have worked. The skill-set differences for your ideal LT and RT are becoming the same thing in this new-age NFL. With all of the pass rushers playing left end these days, your RT better know how to pass protect. 

 

A combo of Joeckel/Matthews, if both reach their potential, is a good amount better than Monroe/Joeckel, but it's not worth it.
