Quote:Do people use the Boselli and Searcy standard on judging our current tackles?  Joeckel is good and not good enough at times but he hasn't played that much.  It is rare to have someone be a dominant force in their first season.  Jeckel isn't going to magically become Boselli.  Think of this longevity is typical the standard for O-Line becoming HOF worthy and with a shortened career Tony is being considered.

 

Need to stop comparing these guys to once in a lifetime players.

 

Joeckel isn't good, but I think the team can win with him at tackle as long as the guard isn't letting guys run free up the middle and holding all the time like Beadles has done. Bortles can step up or step to the side of an outsider rusher takes an inside angle, but when guys get to run straight at him inside the pocket with nowhere for him to escape that's a problem.
