Is getting man handled....we have enough issues at OL, lets hope this is just rust. Mario Williams is better than any 2 Patriot LBs.
I sure hope his poor play tonite is due to his missing training camp because he is struggling on every play trying to contain the DE.
He wasn't getting beat THAT bad. He was pushing everything outside. He was only beat two, maybe 3 times.
The wholw team was sucking wind. The Pats looked like they play in south florida. Wow I am speechless.A 99 yd pass play to Wes Welker?
Thats alot for Long....he had a rough night, that was obvious. Hope he shakes it off because it gets worse next week with Wade Phillips and Mario.
He had no pre-season yet he didn't cramp up like our "best CB tandem in the league". For not having a single snap in pre-season he played pretty damn well.
Notice how Reggie Bush didn't cramp? Maybe the other players should consider joining him after practice.
He didnt play well at all....but ur right our defense is the reason for the loss obviously. But im not gonna sugarcoat his performance despite him being my 2nd fav Phin.
He may have played poorly considering his past play but he did miss training camp and he has been injured. We don't know if he is completely recovered from the injury and how much it effected his play? He probably rushed himself back knowing how bad the Dolphins needed his play. He had a legit excuse the other OL didn't have for their poor play.
He allowed 1 sack, 4 QB hurries, and 2 knock-downs (if I remember the statistic someone else posted in another thread correctly.) We definitely should put the pitchforks away though - besides the fact he's allowed a bad game, he was also probably rusty coming off injury and an offseason without training. If that wasn't enough he has a new guard and center, so there will be a period where the OL will have to get used to each other. I wouldn't be alarmed at all unless this continues into the season
i know he didnt play his best game, but he just looked a bit rusty to me. he will be fine. i didnt pay too much attentio to the sack but were any of them charged to him?
