Jake Long thriving through 7 games

PrintMany of you know that I hate it when journalists - or "pen pushers," as Joey Porter likes to say - try to make a point but lack any kind of proof or use poor statistics to attempt to prove their theory accurate.
Well Armando Salguero is at it again. He attempts to prove that rookie LT Ryan Clady is better than Jake Long - at least right now. And while it's true that Long has surrendered more sacks (which alone can be a deceiving stat), Salguero's attempt to prove Clady has been a better run blocker is disgusting and shows a lack of research.
In fact, the truth is that Jake Long has been damn good through his first 7 career games. ESPN's KC Joyner - or the "Football Scientist" - talks about Long in both a blog post for the NY Times and in an ESPN.com chat. First, an excerpt from the post:
The metrics show that both tactics have worked extremely well. Miami has gained 122 yards on 13 counter plays in the last five games with Long at the point of attack, and Long was beaten on only one of those blocks.
Moving on, here's what Joyner says about Long's play as a whole so far in the chat:
Miami runners have gained 243 yards on 45 carries his way, which is just over 5 YPC. He also has a block win percentage in the mid 90s, which is fantastic.
Is there still any question that the Dolphins made the right choice with their #1 overall pick?

Both teams can be proud
Jake Long is a better run blocker, Clady is the better pass blocker. Sparano said as much in his conference call. There could be a debate in which of the two traits, run or pass blocking, is more important in a rookie, but the beauty of football is how many ways there are to be good at something.
The Broncos would love to have great run blocking from their rookies right now, since establishing the running game is key to getting teams out of Cover-2, reducing the double teams on Marshall and exposing the seams for our TEs to work. But bottom line for us is that we HAVE to protect the franchise QB while we work our way through the rebuilding process.
The dolphins on the other hand don’t have the same concern. I like Pennington, but even if he had 7-8 more years in him, I don’t see Parcells or even Sparano viewing five years of Pennington as a good thing for the franchise. But establishing a grind it out, fundamentally sound running game? Sounds good to me.
I think both teams scored in the draft.
Optional debate: Did one team or the other get more value from their pick? (After all, we are talking about a #1 overall pick in the draft, with a cap hit that reflects as much, and a #12 overall pick, with corresponding salary.)

"Joey Porter is retiring"
all you need to know….dudes a complete d-bag. he is on the radio down here later on in the day and totally sucks.
here is what he says basically:
he thinks the offense should dictate what the defense does….and doesnt believe in taking what the defense gives u. someone called and asked him if he would still run at 9 in the box and he says yes. totally retarded. i lost all repect for him that day.
he also says ted ginn should go for 100 a game and he is open every play….im not making this up. such a joke.

He's a world class idiot.
He’s always been. He still has a column because, like one of his commentors posted, he “throws red meat to the dogs and watches them tear it apart.” Basically just making shit up to be “controversial” and make people read his column and respond to it. But trying to be “controversial” and being an ignorant fool are two different things, and he has yet to realize that in his career. They say ignorance is bliss, so he’s probably perfectly happy saying stupid and inane garbage thinking it makes sense.
Me personally, I can’t read him. Ever. And I can’t listen to him on the radio. Ever. He makes me sad for the world.

Jake Long
i dont care what anybody else has…..we took a o-line guy #1 overall and he is great…if someone else got a steal then good for them..what are we supposed to be all broken up over not picking clady #1 overall??!!
hey denver….if ur so happy with clady…why dont u look in ur backfield..u got nothing….maybe u should have drafted a rb? not a pass blocker when u have 1 wr and a injured tight end?

We did draft a Rb
Ryan Torain out of ASU. He broke his elbow in training camp, and should see his first NFL action against the Dolphins. He is a great kid, very mature, very smart. He has a running style like Mike Anderson, tough yards between the tackle with good one-cut running and a second gear for getting past the backers. We also drafted a WR, Eddie Royal out of VT. Also a smart, mature player, able to contribute right away. He beat out Darrell Jackson for the #2 WR slots, is an amazing route runner and has sure hands. If the Dolphins are successful at double teaming Marshall, Royal will be the next target they need to account for. He made Deangleo Hall look like a tool on MNF.
As far as Torain is concerned, I don’t expect a lot from him early on, maybe 10 carries this sunday, around 40-50 yards.

you can seemingly just plug any RB in Shanahan’s offense and put him down for 1400 yds or so.

We better pay close attention then
the announcers don’t talk about -1 yard rushes too often, so we really gotta be watching. You’re not seriously trying to sell us on Ryan Torian are you? He’s basically just a snack for our DL. But I’m sure you guys in Denver think he’s the best thing ever just like you do with Ryan “Toast” Clady. I’m getting a jump on that nickname after Porter gets 3 sacks on him Sunday. Enjoy your average tackle and whodat running back, we’ll keep Jake and Ronnie.

No I'm not trying to sell you on Torain
At least not for this game. But he has everything you look for in a young guy who will have an impactful career.
I don’t know what Bronco fans you have been talking to, but “best ever” is not a moniker I am familiar with for Clady. I will say he is the best talent we have ever drafted at the posiiton, but we have had some super talented LTs, including Tony Jones at the end of his career, and Gary Zimmerman, at the end of his.
You really think Porter is going to get 3 sacks, or are you just trying to get a rise out of me? Cause if you really believe that, I have to challenge you to a du-el. My terms: If Porter gets 3 sacks vs. Clady (switching sides has been mentioned by Matty, but I don’t think that should count, since we are talking about Porter vs. Clady here) I will personally come over and make a fanpost about how great Porter is. If he gets held to 0 sacks by Clady, you can do the same for Clady. If he is at 1 or 2 sacks, well, you guys will probably win, so you’ll feel great and I’ll feel like crap and we can call it a draw…
What do you say Captain Brass Balls?

I'll take it up no problem
I’ll back my boys all day everyday.
one disclaimer, if Denver plays a TE on Cladys side most of the game and Porter is on the opposite end, then I’m not making any kind of fanpost about Clady because Shanahan punked up and gave the rookie help. There has to be a significant amount of plays vs each other to constitute a matchup. But 0 sacks for Porter vs Clady and I’ll give the kid his due. 3 sacks and you’re here fondling Porter’s Brass Balls by Monday Morning.

Awesome
Agreed on the terms of a matchup. I’ll make a point of recording the individual matchups from the play-by-play. No significant amount of TE help, and any Porter sacks need to come vs. Clady. I would imagine there will be some judgment calls, but we can assume the results will speak for themselves…
I would say something witty here about Clady’s brass balls, but I can’t think of anything. You’ll just have to play with his big, regular black ones if I win…

awesome Nicky!
This will be fun to watch how it plays out. IMO, I think its going to be a draw, but if theres a O or a 3 in the sack total by the end of the day, it should be interesting reading material come Monday.
This is good sportsmanship on both parts I think. A gentlemans bet to say the least

Do you mean
from what source, or by what method?
I just watch the regular broadcast, and take notes on formations, etc. For o-line I track penalties, knockdowns, missed blocks. I have to rewatch the game to get a complete record, but my initial game notes are pretty good for most breakdowns. I am backlogged back to week 3 still for complete player evaluations like these.
As to specific methods, it is tough to say what would be helpful to you. I do college scouting, mostly for the WAC, so I do a lot of it by instinct, but if you have a specific question I would be glad to help. The basics are just write down what you see. I have a premade template with down and distance and room to take notes. I quickly fill in down and distance, make a note on offensive presnap formation and motion, note any specific defensive keys, and then watch the play, usually rotating the focus from player to player. Of course, this game I will be watching Clady and Porter specifically, but for a live game I usually try and watch everybody a little bit.
But if the game gets too exciting I just give up. Way too hard to take notes when you are fluctuating from leaping up and screaming and laying on the ground in disgust….

You won't find many people who disagree
with your feelings about the Clarett pick, or a lot of Denver’s draft history, in fact. But Shanny gets a lot more credit for the draft, good and bad, than he deserves. This year we got rid of the old GM, Sundquist, (who is now an analyst for ProFootballTalk.com, the sewer of internet sports journalism, so that speaks to his esteem among his NFL peers that he ended up on what amounts to skidrow), and replaced him with the head of college scouting: the result was an amazing draft, deep and effective that has already turned out three starters.
Portis would have been good anywhere he went. He was special in the ZB scheme, but I think Washington plays to his strengths better than Denver did.
As to Shanny without Elway, I don’t see how it is relevant, but there is bound to be a dropoff after losing a HOF QB, which you guys have to understand, since you had to go through life without Marino. Still Shanny has four playoff appearances, 2 division crowns and 11 of 13 winning seasons without Elway, so its not like we have gone to the well and its been dry.

I just hope our Defense
walks away healthy and walking. Does Shanahan still coach the art of the leg whip and the crack back block to his O lineman? He’s been cruising on that since his Niner days. “Well, its not really illegal” doesn’t make it right. Watch for it Dolphin fans and players, its something they have used in the past, especially when getting overpowered.

Salguero just wants some face time. Must be to much effort to go out and find a real story. One thing I’m almost sure of, when the Dolphins become the winning team we all are hoping for, he’ll be the first one to point out minor flaws and be the first to bitch that the 14 pt win should have been 21.

Look at the other picks
Chris Long = 1 sack, 13 tackles
Matt Ryan = Possible good QB, still early, but showing some solid signs, 4 wins
Darren McFadden = 300 odd rushing yards, hurt
Vernon Gholston = 6 tackles, 0 sacks
Glenn Dorsey = 15 tackles, 0 sacks
Sedrick ellis = 1 sack, 10 tackles
and on and on
Jake Long was the best pick for our team and on talent alone…
the only other picks I could have conceivably believe to be good choices are matt ryan and… thats it…. So Jake Long was the best out of the top 10.

top 10 o lineman we need 3
Michael Oher, OT, Mississippi – 6’5- 320
Oher would have been a first-round pick this year, but he liked Mississippi’s hiring of Houston Nutt and decided to return for his senior season. The massive offensive tackle paved the way for running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis to amass 1,000 yards on the ground in both 2006 and 2007. That earned him second-team All-Southeastern Conference recognition from the coaches… Read More
Andre Smith, OT, Alabama – 6’4- 340
Smith and fellow SEC offensive tackle Michael Oher (Ole Miss) are leading the way in what should turn out to be an extremely strong offensive linemen draft class in 2009. That will almost certainly remain the case throughout this college football season as long as Smith stays healthy, which is a bit of a concern at the moment. An ankle sprain Smith sustained in Alabam… Read More
Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia – 6’6- 315
After Mississippi’s Michael Oher and Alabama’s Andre Smith, Eugene Monroe will be the third offensive tackle on most lists. Monroe went through the 2007 season at Virginia pretty underrated and off the radar. But that will not last much longer and Monroe will get plenty of recognition after he wraps up his senior season with the Cavaliers. At 6-6 and 315 pounds, Mo… Read More
Duke Robinson, G, Oklahoma – 6’5- 335
It is not everyday that a true freshman plays a role on Oklahoma. But Duke Robinson played in ten games at left guard in 2005 and even some saw action at left tackle. By his sophomore campaign, Robinson was a staple at left guard and took more snaps than any other linemen on the team. For his efforts he earned All-Big 12 honorable mention accolades. As a junior, Robin… Read More
Alex Boone, OT, Ohio State – 6’8- 313
Alex Boone is one of the top tackle prospects for the 2009 NFL Draft. Boone is a huge, mountain of a man who practically lives in the film room according to his coaches. Boone is the leader of an offensive line that is averaging 163.5 yards rushing per game in 2008, even without the services of Chris “Beanie” Wells for most of the season. The Buckeye offensive line (w… Read More
Ciron Black, OT, LSU – 6’5- 320
LSU’s offensive line (and defensive line for that matter) looks like it belongs in the NFL, and Black is literally a big reason why. Compared to fellow lineman Herman Johnson he might seem small, but Black still brings a 6’5 and 320-pound frame to the offensive tackle position. For a man of size he has solid speed, having run close to a 5.2 in the 40-yard-dash. Speaki… Read More
Alex Mack, C, California – 6’4- 316
Alex Mack has been rated by many experts as the best offensive lineman in college football. Because he plays center and not guard or tackle, he may not be a top 10 pick in the 2009 draft. Mack is a very intelligent player who is capable of making all line calls. He always plays with his head on a swivel and is the anchor for one of the top running attacks in colleg… Read More
Jonathan Luigs, C, Arkansas – 6’4- 314
Luigs was one of the unsung heroes for Arkansas last season as Darren McFadden and Felix Jones rushed into stardom, but his play up front did not go completely unnoticed. In fact, Luigs won the Rimington Trophy as the nation’s best center and he was a consensus All-American. Regardless of how talented the running backs are, the accolades are well-deserved when you pav… Read More
Max Unger, C, Oregon – 6’5- 305
Unger is a very versatile offensive line prospect from the University of Oregon. He has started every game since setting foot on the Oregon campus, starting his freshman and sophomore seasons at left tackle before switching to center for his junior season. He is listed as a tackle prospect by ESPN, but will likely be a better center in the NFL. He is not a road gradin… Read More
Herman Johnson, OG, LSU – 6’7- 355
Johnson is an absolute mammoth of an offensive linemen. Even in a day and age when all of the guys up front are nothing less than massive, Johnson can be an intimidating physical presence at guard. He is 6’7 and a weight of 355 pounds might even be an understatement. While Johnson’s size clearly sets him apart, it’s the rest of his game that really makes the LSU star …
