Very good article.
It's good to read someone who appreciates the value of Chris Long. There are guys who, if they rack up 10 sacks in a year, it means they impacted 10 plays all year. Long does a lot of things that don't show up in the stat line but impact the D. Leading the league in pressures (which he has done) is just as important as sacks. Making the QB move his feet in the pocket and making him uncomfortable is a major part of impacting a passing game.
I hope Brockers gets and stays healthy. I think he is posed for a breakout year. One thing for sure, if the group as a whole can stay healthy O lineman will get no rest. If you are a G of average NFL athleticism you may have to prepare for Brockers, Langford, Donald, Hayes....gonna be a long day. Teams have to keep a RB and or a TE in is as good as having another DB.
