Blue and Gold
dropped into coverage a couple or few times each game, led team in hurries by a lot. Praised by Belichick all year,,,...hurries ....4 fewer than Aaron Donald.
thanks for posting the chart ... I love that type of info. ... it does show how much Chris Long can still contribute ... but in the proper perspective ... if we were to compare the double-teams that Long went up against vs double teams that Aaron Donald went up against ... I think there would be a wider gap.
Nevertheless Chris Long is still a good contributor to his team .... g'dammit .. I hate his current team.
Chris Long is a (small) chip off the old block ... he's a class act .. I will always respect him .... even though I will never respect his current team.
You should see some of the crazy stuff they had him doing this year. Played sand up LBer in A gap, 3,4,5,7,9 techniques, with the 5 and 9s somtimes standing and they rush 3 and cover with 8 more than any team I saw all year. Just a nightmare for a rusher. Rushed 4 a lot, didn't blitz a lot...they are a team that wins by playing coverage, not rushing.
