Quote:I think you're reaching a bit here. If anything Monroe elevated his game against elite tackles. I distinctly remember him stonewalling Jared Allen last year and JJ Watt never had a above average game going against him (Guy Whimper is another story). He year in and year out held his own against the Mathis/Freeney combo with Freeney schooling him only in his rookie year.
 

 

Agreed. Monroe would come to play when the competition was at its best, although on the flip side he can be somewhat inconsistent in pass protection. What I like best about him though was his run blocking dominance, and that's something we're simply never going to get from Cam Bradfield.


 

I do think Monroe is better than many in this thread are crediting him for being, but I also think the trade was largely based on Caldwell's fears about being able to retain him. Its been speculated that it might take the franchise tag to get him to stay, but the tag for OLs next year is expected to be around $10 mil.
