Premier left tackle. Best #1 pick since Peyton Manning. Completely shut down Jared Allen, mostly by himself. Most here wanted the other Long over Jake on draft day but....yeah. I'm happy with the results.
I remember those days before the draft with folks wanting Chris Long or Matt Ryan. Knocking Long for his pass blocking. Personally, I wanted Long all the way seeing as I'm also a Michigan fan It doesnt matter now though, all that matters is he's a phin, and one of the best, if not the best at his position in the entire NFL.
I had a giggle when Allen FINALLY made a play when Henne scrambled. It was at that moment I remembered oh yea, there's a decent d lineman playing over there.
And he made sure everybody knew he was indeed present at the stadium, doing a little celebration on both plays. Basically Long dominated Allen to the point where Henne had to run into him for Allen to be noticed.
Awesome. This is going to catch on. Jared Allen was trapped on Long Island this afternoon. In other news, Randy Moss was seen urinating on Revis Island a few hours later.
The only plays Allen made Henne ran into him and still gained yards. Long beat him him and stole his Milk money, pointed his finger and laughed at him. Gave him his money back then punched him in the mouth twice and took it back. Allen got owned like the biatch he is.
Had some questions about Jake's footwork and his hips and how he would develop against speed rushers. A lot of them were answered today. The man just keeps on getting better.
Thanks for noticing my boy (yes, I am his adopted father), and our 2010 Dolphins Survivor Champion. He was dominant today. But alas...it was just another day at the office. Next up...pretty boy and Dancing With The Stars star Jason Taylor. Gonna love seeing his sorry a** pancaked at least once or twice.
What was that about Long Island only being a good run blocker? Can't make it at LT as a pass blocker? Or handle premier speed rushers? Oh right Clady is way better. The best part is Big Jake is only getting better because his work ethic is on another level than the standard NFL player.
Jake Long has yet to enter his prime. Let that sink in: The best years of his career are yet to come.
It's gonna be funny watching JT entering Long Island and never leaving. Going to be a much enjoyable match up ^.^
Folklore has it that Long Island is located at the end of the world...You can get there, but you can't ever get passed it.
Ive never seen Allen get blown up in the middle of his passrush like that...completely blown the **** up arms splayed out leg drive stopped... just straight punked.
thank you for making this thread!!!!!!!!! i had these exact same thought before i logged in today! Allen got a little arm on Henne on a scramble and acted like he cause a 15 yrd loss on a sac or forced a fumble. Very proud of Jake!! Allen actually is pretty good but his celebration for 2 plays that weren't even special... he's a moron!
Funny thing with Jake..they will interview him and even though it was lopsided in his favor he will say "Allen is a great player..It was/will be tough going against him" same thing he says about everyone..think that tool Allen will give him props ??? nope..He even says that about Pace and he punks that guy all game.
My comments on the Jake vs Jared battle I don't have much to say but I will that loved this battle. Jake Long mandhandled Jared Allen. He was throwing him around like a toy. Maybe its me, but was anyone else amazed at how strong this dude is? No doubt in my mind he is on his way to another Pro Bowl. What are your thoughts?
I didnt think about it until last night when I said to myself, I didnt hear Allen's name call that much...then watched it again with the sole purpose of iso'ing those 2, and yeah Long DOMINATED Allen.....it was awesome to watch..... just like he will dominate JT too...this Sunday night!!!
''Jake Long...The premiere Left tackle in the game" I wrote that 8 games into his rookie year.. I love the point that FF make's about his ceiling. I would love to see a gif of that play where he engaged Allen on the Island, Long checked him perfectly in balance, than clubbed him with his right arm and hand to basically say, GTFOTTA HERE. It was very cool..A completely dominant Gesture. Long Island is must see TV.
