Eugene Monroe Rumors & News

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Luke Joeckel with the second overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, leading a lot of people to wonder if he would eventually take the left tackle role from veteran Eugene Monroe. All indications thus far however are that the Jaguars plan to use Joeckel at the right tackle position long term and hang on to Monroe, giving the Jaguars a potential elite pair of tackles. Joeckel helps Lewis Jaguars quarterbacks have played significantly better with Lewis assisting as a pass blocker, but Joeckel might make that unnecessary. The transition to right tackl...

Well, that didn't take long. Jacksonville's pick of Joeckel was a bit surprising considering that Eugene Monroe has started at Left Tackle and played well since joining the team in 2009, but he'll slide to the right. The big shock isn't that Oakland traded out, or that Miami took Dion Jordan in the move, but that Oakland only got a 2nd round pick as compensation. Per the Jimmy Johnson trade chart, that's a loss of 520 points, or MORE than the value of the 2nd rounder they did receive. This is shaping up to be a crazy draft. Here's your tracker. [UPDATE] And now, Jonathan Cooper is gone...

Left tackle Eugene Monroe may be the closest thing to a franchise centerpiece that the Jaguars have, but that hasn't led new general manager Dave Caldwell to talk extension with the offensive tackle and Monroe doesn't expect that they'll be talking any time soon either, according to Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union. "I do [think about it] but my focus is on always getting better," he said today in the Jaguars' locker room. "Whether the deal is up, it doesn't dictate how I train because I'm the same way every day. I don't focus on it. We have a new system and I'm focused on s...

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Eugene Monroe is entering the final season of his rookie contract when he was selected with the eighth overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. Monroe has steadily gotten better at the position each season, finishing last season among the Top 10 left tackles in the NFL according to the grades at ProFootballFocus.com. Eugene Monroe in 2012 Sacks Allowed: 5 (Rank - 5th) Hurries Allowed: 22 (Rank - 10th) QB Hits Allowed: 7 (Rank - 8th) Overall Grade: +21 (Rank - 10th) The Jaguars under Dave Caldwell will now start evaluating what the need to do wit...

The Jacksonville Jaguars began their offseason program under new head coach Gus Bradley on Tuesday. The Jaguars had every player under contract outside of Eugene Monroe, who's absence was excused, in attendance to start the new season and get to work. Bradley met with the team for the first time and spoke for 45 minutes before everything got started. Simple means that like Michelangelo he used three primary colors and look at what he did. Beethoven used seven notes and look at what he did. -Gus Bradley "I didn’t want to have a two hour meeting with them and go through everything. ...

The Jacksonville Jaguars offensive line was a mess during the 2012 season, with really only Eugene Monroe playing consistently well. Outside of Monroe, most of the players struggled during the season in quite a few of the games leading to players getting benched, put back in the game, then benched again and a seemingly revolving door at the left guard position. The Phinsider did a nice write up on their offensive line with some visual aid to display how good and/or bad players were, so I thought I would steal their idea and do my own for the Jaguars offensive line. I didn't include pla...
