the little bit of the UVA game i watched Chris Long looked Great

 

watching Gholston own him gives me pause

but who knows what seperates a Gallery from a Joe Thomas

 

I agree. He looked like a man amongst boys. Very smart player too.

 

Yup, Chris looked great out there as usual.

 

Airington - WR Mich

^ yeah same here. i was really impressed by him and manningham. I was really dissapointed in Brennan vs Georgia. Also, Mendenhall looked really really good out there vs USC as did Maluga ( sp?) the usc linebacker. The linebacker from georgia, i wanna say his last name is brown but not sure. he had 3 sacks and a pick on Brennan and Hawaii.

 

You have to be kidding me.

He's not riding a his dads name at all.
I watched that game just to watch him and he created havoc on a regular basis.
The opposing QB was constantlyfeeling pressure from him no.
He played in a 3 point, standing up, outside, inside, played the run well, rushed the pass well, dropped into coverage. The friggin guy did it all.

I wasn't impressed with Jake Long. He's not worth the top of the 1st grade many think he is IMO.

I'll be very dissapointed if we don't take C. Long with our first if we stay at our spot.

 

Chad Henne had the game of his life. Aarington was great also. Rey Meluga sp. was great. McKnight showed why everyteam in the country wanted him to come play for them. Percy Harvin was great in a losing effort.

The bowl games in general have been a terrible dissapointment, IMO. Florida/Michigan was great but I was more intrigued by the Ice Bowl.

Tony Temple probably had the best day but he's probably a mid-rd guy.

 

I saw Chris get double teamed sometimes triple the whole game and he just pushed them all back into the QB, and when he cant get to the quaterback he deflected the pass, he has a great motor, he was going as hard at the end of the game as the first, I think he will be a great pro.

 

I would definitely agree, but I would also add Chad Henne to the list of MI players. Jake long was an animal yesterday, and controlled a guy from FL that had 3 sacks against OSU in the championship game last year. manningham looked like a total playmaker, would love to see him opposite Ginn!!!! I wouldn't mind

1. Jake Long
2. Mario Manningham
4. chad Henne

 

I was most impressed with Adrian Arrington

 

Jake Long?:lol::lol:


Chris Long looked 10x better than Jake Long did. Jake Long got beat on a few plays. Chris Long was wrecking havoc despite being double teamed almost every play. He was Virginia's defense.

If we go Jake Long with the 1st I will kill someone.

 

Chris Long didn't impress you?

He deflected 3 passes.

he forced 2 holding penalties.

his man false started twice.

he got 5 QB pressures.


it was a miracle that he didn't have at least 3 sacks.

He wrecked havoc.

 

I like when he sheded off one blocker, and then another, and was in on the tackle.

 

you can add Fred Davis to the list

 

1) Chris Long de UVA
2 ) Morgan Trent cb Michigan...damn junior.....
3) Adam Kraus looked like the most physical guy on a line that has Jake Long
4) Tony Temple Mizzou
5) Fernando Velasco Georgia
6) Danny Amendola Texas Tech
7) Will Franklin Mizzou
8) Jake Long Michigan
9) Marcus Howard UGA
10) Thomas Brown UGA

UNINSIPIRING: Colt Brennan (like anyone could play with 1,200 pounds of Bulldog on top of youin less than .05 seconds), the Hawaii's OL especially Hercules, the Illini defense including Mr. Lehman, Graham Harrell's arm, the Florida defense ......ughhhhh, the Florida 5 blocks of sillly puddy....particuarly Meddar, and UVA's ability to close out a game!!!!!!!

 

Totally agree here with Davis. Guy runs like a WR. I don't see him making it out of the first round but I would love this guy in the early 2nd.

Chris Long played very well. His "stats" may not reflect a huge day (ie sacks) but he commanded attention from multiple blockers which undoubtedly helped the rest of the defense to take care of business.

I also saw Jake Long, and thought he did look good against Florida. He is definitely a premium run blocker as I saw him pancake at least three guys. On one occasion he went commando on a Gator linebacker driving him 10 yards down the field and them slammed him to the ground on his back. He pinned the guy's shoulders to the ground as he used him to get up. Clearly shows a mean streak. LB went back to the huddle shaking his head. Don't think he is a number 1 guy, but if we dropped into the 7-10 range, I would love to have him even at RT.

 

yeah i think he is just as good as manningham reallly.

 

Colt Brennan had the spotlight and had no opportunity for success. I've saw him a few times but he looked tiny. Right now I know he's got really no chance to be a QB in the NFL but Pat White is somebody to look at as project WR. He's a Jr and I think he'll go back but I think he's more of Antwaan Randle El than Robinson or Smith were a couple years ago.

 

do you think pat white could be successful as a wideout or running back?

 

I want to know what that fellow runs the 40 in. Did you see him run catch Percy Harvin? Granted he had an angle, but I never thought I'd see that happen.

Mention Medder again and I'll ban you :gun_bandana:

 

Jake Long is a dominant force in the running game for sure, but he's got major issues blocking speed rushers. Harvey got by him yesterday a few times, though he didn't make the play, and Gholston owned Long like Darryl Tapp owned D'Brick a few years ago. A top ten pick LT should be a lot better in pass protection than what I've seen from Long.

I agree about Maualuga, that guy was amazing. Best LB performance of the year by far from games I've watched.

I think you need to watch Chris Long a lot closer and plug in some more games. I think he's got a lower ceiling than Gholston, but this guy's floor is probably Trace Armstrong. You're doing something pretty special when you get your college jersey retired while still playing for that college. Long kept Virginia in games all year and practically won the Maryland game all by himself. That, despite constant double teaming like you saw yesterday.

 

I think that's what impressed me most about Chris Long yesterday. It seemed like he always diagnosed where the play was going immediately and put himself in position to make a play. Tech did a pretty good job keeping two lineman on him all game, but even that didn't stop him from disrupting quite a few plays.

I'm not sure how many sacks Long will get as a rookie, but I know he'd provide a drastic improvement to our run defense. He's possibly just as good against the run as he is a pass rusher.

 

It's the draft so anything's possible, but I'd put a lot of money on Chris being the better Long at the top of this draft. To me, an injury is the only way Chris is going to be a bust. Jake, on the other hand, has some serious question marks about his game.

 

By far the best game of his career, including one of the best catches you'll ever see on any level. That was a heck of a play.

 

Certainly has better size than Mario, but his production paled in comparison. I'm not sure if anyone helped their draft stock more than he did yesterday though.

 

being a gator fan i was very excited seeing manningham and jake long
chris long is also a beast
arrington looks good also
but the guy i wish the phins could get one day is percy harvin, that guy is more reggie bush than reggie bush

brennan i think can be a qb in the NFL but yesterday he was just dink and dunk all day
ainge=harrington IMO

 

jake long was very impressive...he would be a beast LT....then have carey at RT

 

I think he can turn into a slot WR like Randel El. IMO, he's Randle EL.

 

I'm thinking more along the lines of Brad Smith

 

One guy that blew me away was RB Rashard Mendenhall. Someone is going to get a hell of a running back in that kid at half the price of Mcfadden

 

Someone is gonna get REAL lucky when they take...

Owen Schmidt.....the man is a beast.
