He only had one sack allowed last year, and no holding penalties he entire career.
Gholston was the only guy that got around him.
We can still get this guy.

1-Vernon Gholston- Ohio State
4-Derrick Harvey- Florida
8-Jason Jones- Penn St.
Assuming Harvey and Jones rushed from Long's side, that only gives him experience against 3 NFL quality pass rushers from last season. Of course he's not going to have penalties or allow sacks when he's facing minimal talent.
I'm sorry, but when he's facing:
App. St.
Notre Dame
Purdue
Northwestern
Eastern Michigan
Minnesota
Those schools just don't ring "top talent" to me.
It's what he does against quality talent that you need to look at when analyzing J. Long's performance.
Can't have it both ways?!?!? The man allowed one sack. Period. He isn't from some division II school or anything. So, one play, during the course of an entire season, he made one mistake, and you are gonna jump all over that????
And yet you do nothing but cover up a career full of mistakes by Herm.
You should try to veil your bias at least a little bit.
no, but it's not like he played in a good conference the past couple years or played against top competition. Neither did Clady in the WAC. I'd be much more comfortable drafting the best OT from the SEC. Someone who saw NFL talent week in and week out. At least then you'd see some sort of track record.
Why would i try to cover up his mistakes? That's how you learn. You learn from your mistakes. Why do you think there's such a premium on players and coaches who have "experience?" They've already made and learned from their mistakes and know not to repeat them.
Believe it or not, 8 years isn't a whole lot of experience as a head coach. I know it's hard for y'all to believe because this isn't a very patient society we live in.
