Eben Britton to start at right tackle on Thursday. Tony Pashos moves to right guard. Looks like one of two things and maybe both... Eben Britton has won the position, Vince Manuwai isn't back all the way yet. My opinion is running to the right will be a joy to watch now, Eben Britton leading the way sounds right to me.

Fantastic news...
Great in every respect. Tony is utter garbage and he better show up at Guard or he’s toast. You don’t pay a back-up his salary.

I'm happy as well...
if you gonna draft 2 OL with the first 2 rounds of the draft, might as well get them in there sooner than later. Maybe it will light a fire under Pashos and he will kick ass at right guard.
I heard they also discussed ...
that Monroe would start at left tackle and that Tra Thomas might be released, which makes no sense to me. Anyone else hear that?
What?!?!
That’d be crazy if the did that! If any thing, I think they’d at least trade him for a good backup QB… even then it’d still be crazy move!

Did not hear that at all

Tra Thomas isn't making anything
What are they saving by releasing him as opposed to the experience they gain by keeping him?
He's worth the money for sure
What happens if Monroe gets hurt, just put Tra in and we’re still fine.

Championship!
Haha j/p Best way to learn is through experience! Theory only takes you so far… Hopefully he doesn’t get called for as many holding calls as Pashos, but if he does I won’t be as mad… this year at least.

If they released Thomas...
one injury would put us right back where we were last year.
Did not hear Eugene Monroe was starting
and have not heard he has beaten out Tra Thomas. I don’t think he is ready.
But he is more ready than Andre Smith and Michael Crabtree.

I laughed hard
when I heard Andre Smith had fractured his foot & came in like 15lbs overweight yesterday. Didn’t help with the comments people of PFT were making as well. I’m soooooo glad the Bengals took him over us… though I’m not sure if we would’ve taken Smith if Bengals had taken Monroe. Who do you think we would have drafted if Monroe was off the board on our pick?

Wayne Weaver said the line needed fixed
So I am guessing it would have been Andre. Thank you Mike Brown.
Big Cat Country!:: The Official Home of the Unofficial Blog of the Jacksonville Jaguars!
Vic said today that it would've been Beanie Wells
So either Mike Brown saved us from the Andre Smith disaster (on a side note, I now realize I was wrong to so heavily promote him this summer) or he saved us from an Ohio State disaster (still don’t trust him or his durability).

If Vic was drafting it would have been Wells
Big Cat Country!:: The Official Home of the Unofficial Blog of the Jacksonville Jaguars!
The way he phrased it made it seem like it was a real option, not just his opinion. And it would be consistent with him spending so much time seamingly getting us ready for that pick by talking him up.
Either way, thanks Mike Brown.

The people we were projected to pick were
Crabtree, Monroe, Andre Smith, BJ Raji, Malcolm Jenkins, Beanie Wells, or the 2nd best DT behind Raji.

No one ever
get’s to see the real Coaches’ value board. It’s Vic’s opinion, but may still have been on. We’ll never know, because the coaches won’t ever say. Not even to vic.
Great news
and I hopr the Tra thomas rumour is just a rumour. That would be a giant mistake let him go. He is the security on that position!

I just heard
via jaguars.com on the Jack Del Rio Show, Mike Tice confirms that Pashos is starting at RG on Thursday and Britton is starting at RT. Also, Andy Heck confirmed that Monroe WILL start at LT on Thursday.
Then Who's at LG??
If Manuwai isn’t back yet……… is it a battle between Uche an Mo??
Or is it Uche who starts and Mo sits behing Pashos?
Uche for now...
I think Uche will get a lot of burn because he’s more of an unknown at this point.
I got the impression that Mo is seen as strictly a versatile and reliable backup, he’s also spent some time at centre this year, so I think it’s Uche’s to loose.
Uche started LG for the Miami preseason game
So I think you are right

Manuwai at LG
LT – Thomas
C – Meester
RG – Nwaneri
RT – Pashos
Big Cat Country!:: The Official Home of the Unofficial Blog of the Jacksonville Jaguars!
Im not good with OL tactics and positions but....
why dont we start Thomas at LG if we are starting Monroe at LT? Is there that big of a difference between LG and LT that Thomas wouldnt be able to move over and perform well?
"I’m going to punish him. If he hits me, fine, but if I catch him, believe me, I’m going to get the better shot." - Fred Taylor
I don't think Thomas is stumpy enough to play guard.
Tackles are usually taller, quicker, top heavy guys, while guards are squattier, bottom heavy guys. Tackles move left and right to keep ends in front of them, and away from the QB, while guards are usually meant to drive people back.
You're right on pretty much
Think of it this way. Guards have to match up with people like Albert Haynesworth. Do you think Tra Thomas is going to push an Albert Haynesworth off the line of scrimmage and get a good surge forward to make a hole for MJD? Kterr, Tony Pashos is a guy who has the size to move to guard. Tra is tall, but he wouldn’t make a good guard at all.
I've always wondered...
Why has no team auditioned sumo wrestlers at guard? Many of those guys have the measurables that NFL teams look for in guards in strength, quickness, height, and weight. Furthermore, they’re trained to drive block for four or five yards, have a great understanding of leverage, and they have excellent technique with their hands.
But they are also EXTREMELY huge
On a different note though, that’s why you see alot of O-Line from U of Hawaii. Hawaiians, well alot of them, have that natural build that’s fit to play on the line.
That's what I mean.
Perfect build for the interior line. It seems that many successful sumo wrestlers are also Hawaiian, and the current trend is recruiting Mongolian wrestlers. Mongolian lineman anyone?
Cool Hand Luke does.
Or “Paul Newman”, if you prefer. Yes, I prefer to refer to Paul Newman as Cool Hand Luke, Lukie, Cool Hand, and OG.
You heard right, that was some internal rhyme.
One loads up on Pizza Hut and Cici's,
The other one loads up on KFC and Popeye’s. Guess which leads to which.

Hi Paul.
Become a Bigcatcountry reader? We’d all love to see you stop in and say hey. On a different note, I have to say that if Pashos is equally as horrible at guard as he is (and has always been) at tackle, he will be cut.
Wonder who else reads this site? Wayne Weaver? Megan Fox?
Maybe if I write well enough, I could get Megan Fox to buy me dinner…
Weaver does. Vic Does. Many people in the Jags staff do as well.
“We’re kind of a big deal…”
;)

Megan Fox buys me dinner all the time
She likes writers. get to work.

I would be posting masterpieces on this site everyday
Well, hey Wayne. Can you give Megan Fox a call and tell her I’m interested? I mean, she has the money, and I have the looks. Good trade right?
And the jags would get a
late round pick in that move from which team?

If Wayne Weaver reads this site...
then why can’t I get some kind of keychain or something for my ruined jersey? Yes, I am, in fact, still butt-hurt about it.
He probably does but only under an "Alias"
i think thats how you spell it.
