    I would say about halfway thru last year i knew that we had a special left tackle, not a solid one for the next 10 years,a special one. I wrote that he was legitimately playing at a probowl level at the point.

    What i like about Vernon is his size and strength, what i thought has been missing in his game is an inspiration to play....i think some of the best news ive heard during the offseason is that he and jake have become best friends and workout partners. Putta lil bit of Jake Long inside of vernon carey {not literally,lol} and watch out baby, vernon just might make that jump we all have been waiting for.

    I agree. Jake Long and Vernon Carey are beasts. They are freaks of nature and no one is going to get by them easily this season.

    Good article, thanks for the link. :up:

    Long and Carey are going to be the driving force (pun indented) for our running game and pass protection for many years to come. I am so totally grateful we have what I think will ultimately become the best bookend pair in the league. Put Grove in at Center, and develop the two guard positions well, and we will have the smash-mouth running game needed to open up the standard offense, improve the passing game, open things up for the WildCat, keep opposing offenses off the field, keep our Defense rested and make us unstoppable in the 4th qtr.
