Watched the highlight reel on nfl.com. Long (#77) is on the right side on two of RB's td runs. The first TD is run behind Long at left tackle. Ronnie made an AMAZING move, a shift to the left of 4 feet that sets up the run. Everyone should look at that in slow motion (hit the stop and go button while watching). Anyway, the point is that I didn't know Long was flopping to the right at times, but the video suggests he is. 3 of Browns TD's were behind Long by my count.
 
unbalanced line. We moved Carey over to the other side as well. Basically puts the guard at OT (or the TE the OT at times making Jake/Vernon the TE) and just adds more beef to the strongside of the line and when you have a TE on the line, it can make an O-lineman an eligible reciever and adds for some fun trick plays
 
Yes Henning was magic today, he threw the kitchen sink at them and often shifted to an 'unbalanced' line formation, sliding Carey to guard and Long beside him at right tackle.. he even shifted Carey to left guard at times... The pats had no answer...
 
Hope no one gets any Jake is not a LT type ideas beacuse why not have your best run blocker on the same side your running? But the whole o-line was a monster today.
