I find it sad that with so many people in our country out of work that a Hack like Dan Hanzus still has a job writing for NFL.com.

 

The right side of our line was putrid last year. Jonathan Martin was drafted to help fill that need. He has already been told that's where we want him to play so I'm not sure how a story like this surfaces.

 

Anyway here is a link to Jeff Ireland's comments regarding this rumor.

The question is, will Miami shell-out the $11M+/year and $40M guaranteed Long will be looking for in his next contract? No doubt he'll still be a top LT and the Dols would want to keep him.

Of course they are. He was already the highest paid LT in the game until Thomas got his new contract and from what we are hearing they are prepared to do that again.

 

Now if he comes out and wants Payton Manning money or something completely out of line then the situation may change. But even if that becomes the case they will franchise him before they let him walk.

Fair enough.

Jake Long

 

If this is true this should be our answer to starting left tackle! Put Cordy at guard where most experts believe he could be an all-pro and have Jake protecting Fitzpatrick's blindside.

 

To anyone who actually believes Jake Long is available...PM me because I have some land and some magic beans to sell you

I'm just surprised they want Martin on the right side of the line. I'm a big Martin fan, but he is a finesse LT. He'll have to bulk up like crazy to be a mauler on the right side...

Long, Levitre, and Wood?

 

Sounds like a natural fit.

I knew we should have kept Wang.

 

Glenn's Wang was Long Wood after taking Levitre.

 

or if you prefer:

 

Wang grew a Pears and has Long Wood because of Levitre

A lot of us would have sprouted wood had the Bills been able to pull off that Casey Matthews trade.

 

I still can't believe it didn't happen.

Thats just it. Philbin doesn't want the 340 lbs linemen. Hes bringing in a WC system and wants linemen that can run, pull and get to the second level. Martin will fit in nicely.

 

As a fan of his you should appreciate this interview with him after he was drafted. Personally I love this pick as he can play both sides of the line.

PS. Listen to the question and answer at 3:40 into the interview.

Everyone on this board knew about Matthews in the 4th for two straight years and the Bills missed both times. Strike two. One more chance next year.

The speculation (At best) seems to stem from Long being on the last year of his deal. But at worst the Fins would franchise him if it came to that. No way the Fins let this guy walk in his prime. You can say that the LT position is overrated or whatever but you don't let the best guy at a position of importance walk away. Long isn't going anywhere.

I agree. If he starts, and he probably will since they have no other RT candidates, Mario will have a field day on him.

lol.

 

Now if we could bring back Wang and convert Spencer Johnson to an O-lineman.

IF Jake Long truly is available, I would give Miami our 1st Round Pick next season AND Leodis McKelvin.

 

A 1st round pick is a valuable commodity but you have to remember that you are getting a proven player. An all star that would once and for all solidify our offensive line.

 

Jake Long - Levitre - Wood - Urbik - Glenn ... would be a line for the ages.
