The ongoing debate regarding whether the Dolphins’ Jake Long or Denver’s Ryan Clady is the top young offensive tackle in the NFL got ratcheted up another notch Thursday when Clady finished ahead of Long in balloting for the AP All-Pro team.

Clady joined Cleveland veteran Joe Thomas as the tackles on the All-Pro first team.

Long was the No. 1 pick in the 2008 draft while Clady went to Denver at No. 12. Clady got a lot of attention in his rookie season for giving up just one-half sack.


But Long had by far the better year statistically this season. According to ProFootballFocus.com, which ranked Long as the second-best tackle in the AFC behind Thomas, Long gave up four sacks, five QB hits and nine pressures this season while Clady gave up eight sacks, seven hits and 22 pressures. Clady was ranked only the No. 16 tackle; the Dolphins’ Vernon Carey was at No. 8.

Clady gets in based off last years stats/hype. What made him look better last year is he had a QB in Cutler that would rather throw a pick than take a sack. Penny would at times lay down a second early to avoid the pick. Long is the better LT especially when you factor in run blocking.
 
the dolphins are quickly becoming the most dispised team in the nfl.

example 1 see this thread.

example 2 see the amount of butt kissing of Tom Brady and the Patriots.
 
Jake did make the Sporting News All-Pro first team and the AP second team. This was just the AP team they are talking about.
 
Clady is a dancer, Long is a mauler. They are both good, but I think Long is far better in the run game.
