Since we're talking about potential players...lets look at C. Long alittle. quote]
Tied for third with 14 sacks...tied for 14th in 19 stops for loses...23 QB pressures...on a team ranked 213th against the run, 16th in scoring defense and 23rd in total defense.
Hey bro...I'm not on the Chris Long band wagon. He seems to look pretty good to me....but I haven't seen enough of him. I KNOW Vernon Gholston is a monster....I've seen it....I've seen it against your boy Jake Long! In the end I'll be happy with who Parcells takes.
I'm fairly certain if we are drafting first or third...that Jake Long will not be the pick. Parcells is going to take who he believes is the best pass rusher in the draft. We aren't going to have this opportunity to draft this high again. We aren't going to take a guy that might not work out at LEFT tackle. Parcells has proven time and again he puts a premium on the edge rusher...sorry dude....don't want to rain on the Jake Long parade...don't think its gonna happen at 1 or 3. Love to have the guy later on in the draft - to play the right side lol....
As far as Boomer goes, I'm glad you guys are friends, and I'm glad Boomer admits he can be wrong, certainly that is the case with all of us. You were attacking the fact that I said Jake isn't a LEFT TACKLE YET. I question that he can be in the NFL....you called me out on it....I said well look here....here is a video...look here...I'm not the ONLY ONE SAYING IT.
Now I haven't seen this guy play...so I don't know if he's strong enough, is a good enough run blocker etc....but you talk about Jake being an athlete...I don't see it....to me he doesnt have good feet. I bet this guy does tho:
Ryan Clady, OT -- Boise State
The Boise State junior did not participate at the combine but turned in a first-round performance at his pro day. Clady ran times of 5.20 seconds after tipping the scales at 311 pounds. His three-cone time of 7.05 seconds eclipsed that of any offensive linemen at the combine by almost a half-second. He also looked good in position drills.
Thats in SI. half a second faster in a lateral movement drill. If I took the time to take a look at this guy... I would imagine those numbers would translate to the games. You want a Left Tackle??? based on his first round grade etc....and armed with this.....I'd say you should be rooting for this guy!!!! Get on the right horse!
