Grading Eugene Monroe

As promised, here is the pictorial analysis of Eugene Monroe. Sometimes I go over the top in either my praise or criticism, I know this about myself. But as I looked over the 2,500 pictures from the last three home games, I noticed a number of interesting developments. One was Eben Britton wasn't playing up to his press and I reported that. The other was Eugene Monroe hasn't been getting enough press. I saw some amazing plays he was pulling off. I wanted to go to press with this news, but waited until the Colts game and the rematch with Dwight Freeney. Dwight feasted on Eugene early in the season so I was curious about this meeting. My jaw dropped as I reviewed the battle between the two of them. I looked at the photos over and over just to be sure. To me there is no mistake, Eugene Monroe has developed into a top NFL Left Tackle. I am going so far as to say two things:
1) Eugene Monroe will be a pro bowl caliber tackle. He may already be that.
2) Eugene Monroe is the best first round draft pick of the Del Rio era.
OK, I know I go over the top, so I am asking you to look at what I saw. The meeting with Dwight Freeney is here as well as other plays. You tell me, am I nuts or is this guy a major player? Merry Christmas and enjoy the video, it is best in full screen mode.

Now that is quite something Terry!
The video and Eugene! Boy your homegames picture coverage is becoming one of the big advantage of the site lately.
Did you pictures how our defensive line (I mean Harvey; Groves; and Knighton) performed lately?
By the way RECOMMENDED MATERIAL!!!!! (WITH CAPITAL LETTERS!)

I was talking on other forum about this "Grading Eugene Monroe"
Here is what they told me, not Jax fans
-he allowed 9 sacks (rank no 1. in league, and has ’bout 200 snaps less then some players)
-22 QB presures around 10-15th place in league
but he is learning…..
Also, that is something of "Lies, Damn Lies, and statistics"
Monroe allowed 6 sacks and 15 pressures in his first two starts. So that skews his production.
Christian Ponder in 2011! Bring him home Wayne, he can actually play QB in the NFL

That means( I did the math)
3 sacks and 7 QB pressures in the rest of the 11 games (He was inactive aginst the Titans on week 4 because illness)
WOW! From a rookie that is veeeeery good!

Yes, I was going to point that out too.
He had a poor game against San Fran later in the season, but all his other starts were very good.
THIS WAS A GREAT PICK FOR THE JAGS!
And as Terry suggested
He is leveling the BEST DEs already in his 1st year. If he improves; look out-he will be a STAR LT (that nobody will notice because he plays here…)

So stat link that NotrhL12 is not good?
When you look who we played, he was very good (if we don’t count SF).
The stats not telling you the whole story
David played well according to the stats in SF; but he was playing BAD on that game.
Stats sometimes misleading. Sometimes….

These "photo analyses" are great!
I hope you take thousands of pics during home games next year, and do these sorts of things for multiple players.
Like Zoltan, I’d love to see a similar analysis of some of the D linemen…. Harvey and Knighton in particular.

As always, this is what makes BCC great.

Great job man
I love how Eugene counters the spin move. Freeney wants to spin, Eugene keeps him in front of him and lets him do what he does. “Dance as much as you want, come back to me when your ready to play football.”

What I am thinking about Eugene
He started out rough and had a lot to learn, but he has developed in a way I didn’t expect. I know the statistics don’t support a rookie pro bowl selection, but based on what I see, he has the mind, the athltic ability and the desire. He will be a pro bowl LT as a Jaguar.

Gonna be
a really hard to get in the Pro Bowl behind Joe Thomas, Ryan Clady, Michael Roos, and Jake Long who have deserved it. A no-name that is playing at least as well as Jake is Jared Gaither, but he’s missed some time this year; but I’m talking about future Pro Bowls being hard to crack for Eugene Monroe. Then… who knows where Andre Smith will be with an off season under his belt. Also can’t forget about the lack of exposure in Jacksonville.
Strong playoff run solves a lot of exposure problems.
Thanks for hanging out with us this year!
