Quote:I'm surprised this team didn't give a guy like Chris Reed a legitimate chance at the LG position, I thought he played well in week 1 of the preseason & would like to see more of him. The coaches are obviously around the players more than anyone, but it didn't seem like an actual "competition", which this organization preaches so often. We'll see how Luke holds up at LG, I don't think he has the functional strength to play that position but here's to hoping he proves me wrong.

I'm pretty sure Joeckel was always going to play LG no matter what if Beachum was back in time. They made a big investment in him and this is his final year to prove anything to them so they're gambling that he can get good at guard this year. Wouldn't surprise me to see him benched by week 8 if he's stinking up the place but they'll give him time to get used to play guard.
