Jake Long expected to sign with Falcons

Submitted by Real Tackles Wear 77 on September 14th, 2015 at 8:56 PM

As a fan of Michigan and of the offensive line, I love to see this. Jake was on a Hall of Fame trajectory in Miami and it all fell apart when he couldn't stay healthy with the Rams. Let's hope he can have a resurgence starting this year.

He visited with the Broncos this year who have serious depth issues on the OL and they passed based on concerns over Long's knees. Was hoping they'd sign him just because but they passed and cited concerns over both knees and surgeries.

Would love to see him one day come back and coach the OL.

In 5-8 years it seems plausible that Tom Brady, Wheatley, and Charles Woodson will welcome him on Harbaugh's staff.

I think your kidding, but we all know Brady's wife wouldn't be down with him doing to coaching grind. I just don't see Tom Brady breaking down film of Purdue once his career is over

I'm thinking Giselle splits within six months of his retirement.

But Brady commands the one thing Giselle needs more than anything: Roger Goodell's attention.

I would think to a competitor like Brady there is nothing he would like to do more than become the best at another career. He is essentially a player-coach right now. I get that coaching isn't in his blood like Harbaugh, but one can dream.

Not only could I not see Tom Brady doing that, I also couldn't see his wife who's at the highest level of the fashion industry want to leave the fashion mecca of NYC/Boston area for Ann Arbor... (no offense to the MI peeps!) I mean she would look pretty sweet decked out in M gear though.

Christ. Do you know what Tom Brady and Charles Woodson would do for recruiting?

politics, but I would not want to see him get into that cesspool. Also, the media would kill him.

Honestly of all our alumni I would vote Brady as Most-likely-to-coach. He is the only person I know of who is more competitive than Harbaugh. He thrives under adversity, and I literally can't imagine him doing anything other than football for the rest of his life. Once he stops playing theres no way he'll satisfy that insatiable hunger holding a microphone, sitting next to Howie and Jim. Coaching may actually be a step down in pressure and intensity for him from taking snaps. He just can't stop. Pro or college? I don't know. Successful or not? Who can say. Coaching or not? No way he stops competing.

I feel that he had only a few great seasons.

Because he couldnt stay healthy in the latter portion of his Miami tenure, either.

Falcons could need him.

In related NFL news, this Niners-Vikings game could be one of the worst NFL games I have ever seen. And, of course, I needed two fantasy points to tie/three to win out of the Vikings' total bum of a kicker in this totally putrid offense.

This is the worst.
