Rewatched Joeckel and Beadles in the 1st Quarter.  Overall, Joeckel is a weakness as we all know and no doubt a bottom of the NFL LT and maybe not even starter quality.  I notied that as the quarter progressed, Olsen started beefing up the left side of the line with TEs or bringing a WR in close.  I'm sure he's going to have to do this all year to help out Joeckel.

 

Beadles was better overall than my first impression when I watched the game earlier.  Beadles isn't great by any means but he certainly wasn't bad.  He held his own for the most part.  Most of his play was sufficient.  He didn't overpower anyone but he wasn't a glaring weakness either.

 

Teams are going to key in on Joeckel and we are going to have to committ a TE or RB more than likely on every play to help him unless the play is designed to go away from the rush on the left side.
