The Jacksonville Jaguars expect improvement from the O-Line in 2010
The Jaguars have good reason to expect more out of the O-Line in 2010 as the unit has a good mix of young up and coming players and veteran know how. LT Eugene Monroe was a first round pick of the Jags in 2009. He has more than enough talent to become a dominating left tackle in the NFL. But the Jags will have to keep him motivated and focused as Monroe didn’t seem to play hard on every play as a rookie. Vince Manuwai is a dominating run blocker when healthy and he will be able to help out Monroe when he needs it. Veteran Brad Meester is a tough guy that makes all of the line calls but he appears to be running on fumes. Uche Nwaneri will likely have to hold off Kynan Forney for the starting RG spot. Nwaneri runs hot and cold while Forney is a very solid pass blocker. It’s possible that they will share the spot in 2010. RT Eben Britton was outstanding as a rookie last season as he plays with a very nasty demeanor. He could be a Pro Bowler in the very near future for the Jags.
PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE JAGUARS O-LINE in 2010: B
