DRJETS Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 By far the worst Center for the Jets in a very long time. All his low snap at best I'm counting it as a sack. I'm not looking forward for this garbage for the next four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets have been blessed with having Mangold for a decade..... you've been spoiled. Long definitely better than the STIFF we had last year! I give long a grade of "C" so far with the expectation that as the unit jells, he will rise to a "B" grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayRay Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 He has a finger injury. Hopefully, it will heal sometime within the next four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so bad that I couldn’t believe it. Spencer Long has been fine blocking but the snaps are a HUGE issue and I’d be happy to move him to guard or move on. He apparently has a hand injury which may be impacting his snaps so let’s see if this continues before we all jump off a ledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right at that position we had been spoiled in the past but this guy have a chance to kill our young Franchise QB. That INT yesterday was all on him. It is every single freaking week at least 5 bad snap not only disrupt the timing but could get the QB injured. At this point I'm just rooting please let it be a good snap.

Rangers9 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Well we've got the USC guy on the PS. He is familiar with Sam to say the least. They could always activate him if this doesn't get fixed (and it probably will get fixed) and use Long as a guard, etc. He can block he just as of recently is a bad snapper.

Tony MaC Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I don't think Long will turn out to be the answer at Center and I think the Jets would do well to look for an upgrade at the position in the draft and free agency next year. Having said that, Long isn't a total washout as the starting C and they're probably better off keeping him around as insurance in case they don't find that guy. And if they do he could be an interesting option to convert to a guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a deep breath. It should get better. But I would like to see us draft a Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple of decent prospects in this year's 2nd round ,but we didn't have a pick of course...what am i thinking, Macc would've drafted another safety, lol.

Johnson was bad but the Jets were 3-3 at this point in large part thanks to the offense. If you're killing a half a dozen + plays a game because you cant snap the ball, then you really have no point being in the game. That can totally kill a game if their untimely vs. a better opponent. That said, Long isnt/wasnt ever good so this shouldnt be too much of a shock. OL has been playing well despite the fact but it needs to be a priority next offseason.

I just hope it’s due to injury and because our depth is worthless so they’d rather keep him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 FWIW, regarding the "4 years", Long is signed for 4 years, but I think he got $6M in guarantees and makes $5M this season. I don't think they have more than $1M in dead money if they move on from him at any time after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they have more than $1M in dead money if they move on from him at any time after this season. We can cut him next year if we were able to upgrade. I think he can be a great backup at his price and cover the entire interior. Make Beachum the backup for both LT/RT and viola, we have excellent depth with starting caliber backups. This also leave space for 1-2 developmental offensive lineman as backups. If our rookie(s) for starting LT/C don’t work out or take a while to develop,our “backups” can start like they were doing all along. Long and Beachum can be serviceable starters for this year and great backups next year with all of our cap space. Turn a weakness (our o-line), into a strength. I can dream.

JetFaninMI Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Well I've been guilty of killing the OL myself but they actually are playing better so lets see how they do next week. It is a problem still but at least they are going in the right direction. When you're on the bottom the only way to go is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HessStation Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Long is basically a C+ center, after Johnson who was a D- center and Mangold who played anywhere from a A+ to B for over a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The op is correct this guy is worse than wes johnson. If it was up to me i would hit his fingers with a stick until his snaps improved. Way over payed for this level of performance he has personally totally wrecked a half dozen plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
