Beadles is awful, but generally speaking, pass rush woes on the left side are more the fault of the left tackle than the left guard. That's not to slag on Joeckel, who has actually looked ok for the most part, nor is it to excuse Beadles, who is terrible, but I think it's more of a package deal in terms of problems on the left side.

 

I'd like to see what Bowanko can do at left guard. He played well for a sixth-round rookie at center last season, and if we go into next year with Linder at right guard and a pair of promising youngsters in Bowanko and Cann duking it out on the left, we've got a solid interior going. The coaching staff loves Shatley, too, so his name could end up in the mix.
