Quote:It doesn't sound like DC is very committed to Joeckel....no surprise, given that he's awful (not just the last game) and has a job to protect the QB investment.

 

He's had 3 seasons. True, he got injured his first season, but Luke's initial knock was strength not quickness or hands. He basically had a redshirt year to figure out the NFL and get stronger.  The problem with Luke since has been balance, but mainly confidence. He needs more Blakes mindset. He should get mad when he makes a mistake, but don't let it compound into more. That is what happened a lot last year, and what happened on Sunday. 

 

If this team ever becomes a contender, the LT will be facing good players/schemes every week with increasing pressure. More than issues with talent or recognition, Luke has not shown to be able to handle that which means DC should be looking to see if there is a better option.
