Not saying Long is hog material, but how many linemen have that presence of mind to not only get their assigned guy blocked but to also help out and chip another defender at the same time? It seems like in recent years, we've seen (too often) guys who can't even get their assigned guys blocked correctly, let alone have the presence of mind to take care of their assignment and help out with getting other guys blocked as well. Or maybe I just haven't been paying enough attention?

Long is a solid guy, but he has some room for improvement. Ive seen him get pushed back a lot on run blocking. Him and Luavao getting collapsed inside aint gonna cut it. Needs to get fixed.
