    No matter what league there is, some teams are feared more than others. And most of the time, they are feared because they are good.

    DE Chris Long Could Have A Career Year In 2015
    I’ve been a fan of St. Louis Rams defensive end Chris Long since his 2008 NFL Draft day.

    I think we’ve heard this before. Like, every year after his first.

    Look. Chris Long is OK. He is sound and fairly smart. He gets some pressure on the QB. But he has never seemed to me to be a special player. And he damn sure isn’t going to start piling up sacks this year after not doing it for the 6 previous seasons.

    But every year, we have people saying “Look for Chris Long to break out …”

    Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Wake me when it happens.

    By virtue of the absurd ...

    Well, yeah, not a Deacon or a Quinn,
    but he had 13 sacks in 2011 and 11.5 in 2012 — If he
    can repeat that kind of play, and Donald
    and Quinn play well — could be interesting.

    Long is also very productive, especially when you factor in hits and hurries.

    I like the PFF “pass rushing production” stat, a rating which measures pressure created on a per snap basis with weighting toward sacks.

    Long’s PRP ratings (and bear in mind starting in 2012, he rotated with Hayes). Looking at his best years starting in year 3:

    2013: 13th
    2012: 5th
    2011: 4th
    2010: 11th

    I don’t count 2014 because he was injured last year. In fact, it’s only in the off-season that he reported being 100%. He played still banged-up, recovering from the injury.

    Yeah Ive seen those stats and…i dunno. Im not sure they match
    up with my eyeball test. There’s been plenty of games where Long
    just seems to disappear, it seems to me. I do think he’s ‘good’ when healthy
    but i dunno about “4th or 5th ranking’ good. Maybe.

    Well no matter who keeps track of the numbers, Long is always up there when you count hurries and hits along with sacks.

    Sometimes you need numbers because the eyeball isn’t enough.

    This is always accompanied by stats that measure how well opponents run at the Rams right defensive end. In 2012, they were 9th in that. In 2013, 8th. In 2014, with Long out part of the time and not 100% the rest, they were 19th.

    Well do you think he’s one of the top five DE’s
    in the game?
