The maddog on the radio said that the coach told him this in private.

Its always nice to hear, especially from people you respect.
 
I think Jake is gonna be amazing at LT . . . I like Henne . . . don't know if he will be better than Beck though . . . but thats fine . . . because I think Beck will be great for us. Liked the idea of getting another QB for competition . . . and Henne has the tools to be a good NFL QB.

the thing thats worries me about Henne is his head, I'm not sure he can handle the NFL. I think Long will be a great asset for whoever is in our backfield
 
Hearsay and just one persons opinion. I'll hold judgment either way, till I see them actually show up and do something.
 
We had a very solid Draft no DOUBT, but lets wait to heap praise to HIGH until the real bullets (NFL starters) come knocking on the door. I see a cross between Tony Boselli and Matt Light in Jake Long, and thats some pretty high praise right there. I am totally undecided on Henne, his attitude on Draft Day has left me with an unfavorable taste for now, maybe in 2009 or later that will change.

Actually he was excited when he got the call from miami but when he had his interview with espn thats when things changed because they said they would only show him once before he got drafted and instead the showed him on tv like 10 times so he was pretty pissed off at ESPN not us.
 
I see Long as an amazing talent. Henne I see as average for now. He throws a nice deep ball but is not mobile whatsoever. I really want to see Beck shine the way he should this season. If he screws it up then I'm all about giving someone else a chance. I just see show much more talent in Beck. If he can get over the fumble-at-the-line jitters he is going to explode this season you just wait and see......
 
How did this thread turn into another Beck against Henne one?
 
Jake Long just seems like a guy that has the head to handle being the #1 pick in the NFL draft. The guy is always joking around and has the look of confidence.

After the way Jake manhandled Derrick Harvey in the Capital One Bowl, it's not surprising that Urban has a newfound respect for Jake. As for Chad, he might be the best quarterback out of this past draft. However, he's going to have to work extremely hard to do that.
 
So the coach that likes the picks and this is news?:rolleyes: I want to see it on the field.
 
i really like the competion we have at qb right now as for jake long he was the best o-lineman in the draft and it just shows we are heading in the right direction i don't care who you have at rb you need to make holes for them to run im expecting a big year from both ronnie and ricky....
