Quote:OK, just trying to get a feel for where you stand. I don't agree, but appreciate the info. From what I have seen he got absolutely manhandled twice in preseason, once by Harrison, and once on that scary play where he landed near Bortles' knee. Those were flat out ugly plays. But there is a reason places like PFF look at every snap, to get context for the way someone is playing overall. Hence the Vine posts regarding Monroe. When you say passion/toughness, I don't think he lacks in those, but that might just be semantics. I call it playing with a nasty streak. Boselli had it in spades, Joeckel doesn't seem to right now. Personally, I think he lacks confidence, but I don't really care to play armchair sports psychologist, Either he gets it together this season or not. So I trade you a 5th and 7th, who are you starting week one? 

 

If I had to make this decision right now, as a fan, I'd switch Parnell to LT, and put Pasztor at RT if Luke Joekel were traded.  I think Bradley/Caldwell are trying to give him all the chances in the world like they did with Gabbert.  They let Gabbert crash and burn as long as possible, then saw there was no way he could lead this team.  Make or break year for Joke this year, that's for sure.
