I was quite confident about Joeckel when we drafted him. His struggles at RT concerned me, but took solace in the fact he was changing positions and that he would likely be more comfortable at LT. Then he got hurt.


Now he's healthy, the last thing I wanted to see was him looking like Monroe, and that's how he looked in that clip.


Again, I hope it's more a testament to what Clemons still has left in the tank than an indictment of Joeckel.

I think it's a little bit of both. While Joeckel was drafted second overall he saw very limited time at LT before going down with injury. He is still learning a great deal especially from someone like Clemons. This team did not have a guy like Clemons last year for Joeckel to compete with. The closest was probably Babin.

 

On the other side of things I think Clemons is gonna be a dang good player for the Jags. He's farther removed from his ACL injury and looks to be close to his old form. 

 

Both guys will be fine and Joeckel is going to learn a lot from Clemons on the daily.
