Has Jake Long Played Yet?


Recommended Posts

I only got to watch mostly last few minutes of 1st half and entire 2nd half of Falcons game as I was in Panama City Beach on fall break vaca.

Seemed like Jake Matthews was giving up a lot of pressure in the passrush. Did you guys notice this as well? Who was Jake matched up against?

Long was active over Bryce Harris against Washington.

However, it seems we never ran any plays with 6 OL so Long had 0 snaps.

If Person is out I expect both Long and Gino to be active vs NO.

Yeah, Long should be the swing tackle again on Thursday, and Gino should be the backup C behind Stone. I don't see any way Person is ready for Thursday based on Quinn's comments to date.

Sounds like Durant will be back, though.

I believe when Falcons signed Jake Long - it was known by the team that he was not ready to contribute - thus the very low salary. We are basically stashing Long for depth and the back half of the season.

Why else would the salary be that low and so many other teams not jumping in.

Yep watched with my brother. He did get burned a few times. He is playing better so far.
