Are you going to tell opposing defenses to please not stunt or run any zone blitzes so as not to confuse our rookie offensive linemen?

No, you start LDT at RG in between Humphrey and Niang so you've got one guy there that's seen it all before.


Run the ball, play action, get it out quick etc.

Maybe Long is the injury version of a dream catcher. Eat it blood magic.

I knew he had retired/took the year off due to injuries but I didn't realize how much game time he had missed the four seasons prior to 2020.

We run shotgun 77% of the time. Mahomes blind side should be no problem with Brown and Thuney protecting it. He would have the whole right side right in his vision the whole time. If something goes wrong once in a while, Mahomes is a magician at improvising. Shouldn't be a huge issue I wouldn't think.

He will be fine for the playoff drive in December/January. Save him until then.

TEX 06-10-2021 09:22 AM

I'm not surprised at all. This is who Long is. Before he retired, he missed a lot of time the last few years. He was a low risk high reward signing to begin with. That's why we have depth. LDT / Blythe (if he's not starting at Center) can handle it until Smith is ready. Want no part of Wylie

The guy was literally just in Hawaii with Patrick and Travis playing in Patrick’s charity golf tournament.

Did he get hammered out there and drop something on his knee or some shit?

This.. Smith and Creed are steals of this draft.. Play these studs...

This.

I didn't want Long because I figured this would happen. Fortunately, they didn't stop with Long and they still have plenty of competition. He can be let go gently so there's no reason to worry about this at all.

Gravedigger 06-10-2021 09:45 AM

Too bad he's not on the Texans, they're done with their pre-season preparation, just waiting on the opener at this point.
