This is going to sound quite weird, but how do you guys watch games on TV? What I really mean is ... what do you guys look at, or look for, prior to the snap? I'm relatively new to the game, as you know, so I think I miss a lot of stuff that the more seasoned fans pick up.

When I first started watching, I'd basically look at down and distance... and then watch the play unfold. Now, I do do try and look at other things but I fear it's very basic indeed: QB under centre or in shotgun, and the wide receiver set. I don't know enough at this stage to really be able to assess the defense, unless it's an obvious nickle situation.

So, in the interests of taking my TV game watching to the next level, can you guys give me some pointers on what you look out for, and why? Would really appreciate it :)

Thomas or Monroe?

First off, this is my very first "fan post".... and I'm not even sure if this is the right place to post something like this. Apologies if I should have posted this elsewhere.

I was delighted when we signed Tra Thomas - finally, a LT who could provide some decent protection for David. Then, I was delighted at drafting Monroe as a potential LT for the foreseeable future. But who starts?

If Monroe is good enough to start, then what do we do with Thomas? Are we going to inter-change the two of them during games? Strange to have so much depth at this position which was a disaster for us last year.

I heard Thomas speak on the Jaguars This Week show, and he sounded pretty damn keen to play for a few years. I know this sort of competition can only be good for a team, and I'm hoping that Thomas can pass on a LOT of knowledge to the youngster.... but I hope having two potential starters for LT doesn't cause any bad feeling between the players.

How do you guys see this playing out over the coming season?
