NCAA isn't NFL ... take a close look at Matt Roth... same exact type of guy, maybe less talented, but look at his case, his motor and his energy are just not enough for the NFL ... Long, even though he's much more talented, should be a better fit in a 4-3 or a OLB in a 3-4, I don't want a Roth #2.... especially not with the 1st overrall
My God Roth isn't even on the same page as Long. Roth was a pretty good prospect that has underachieved so far in the NFL. Long is a sensational prospect as a 3-4 DE. And he IS a 3-4 DE. You can't just make the argument that college isn't the same as the pros. If it was that cut and dried then no one would succeed at the next level.
Seriously why do you keep comparing Roth to Long? That invalidates any argument you make because they are not comparable players.
