Quote:10 months ago, ProFootballFocus said this about LT Luke Joeckel

Dud: With eight sacks allowed and a team-worst pass blocking grade, the Jags must have hoped for more from <b>Luke Joeckel</b> by now.

18. Jacksonville Jaguars (18th)
Pass blocking rank: 28th

Run blocking rank: T-4th

Penalties rank: 4th

Stud: We wondered if Zane Beadles (-0.5) might be on the chopping block, but instead, he’s delivered a solid start to the year.

Dud: There’s been improvement from Luke Joeckel (-3.1), but not to the level that makes you confident he’ll ever live up to his draft slot.

Summary: Nothing overly worrisome here, but nothing that stands out. As the ranking would suggest, a very average collection that needs to do a better job in pass protection.

==================================

 

so according to PFF, sure improvement but going from a terd to a poop isnt a huge improvement (not enough to be starting at LT on any of the other NFL teams).

 

Doesn't the fact that they included Beadles in the "stud" section give you pause at all? I'm no PFF expert but Beadles IMO was very bad through the first five games of the season. I thought he was solid last week and haven't rewatched the Bills game this week. This is not to say they aren't correct about Joeckel but trying to keep things in perspective.
