adam Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Long has been a huge disappointment since getting paid, I hope we don't regret that contract. Injuries and now this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Injuries I worry about. Getting scrappy in the hot humid last day of practice...not so much.

BearFan2000 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Injuries I worry about. Getting scrappy in the hot humid last day of practice...not so much. Same here, Long is a fiery guy. It just got the best of him here. Even if it's for his own good it's hard for him to be patient and work his way back onto the field after that injury and the complications. Add in changing positions, and other personal issues. It just kinda reached a point where he acted out. Staff just needed to send a message so things don't get out of hand. I'd be more concerned if Long had a history of picking fights with teammates at practice. He's well liked and respected in the locker room. It's not like he's Kruetz the "enforcer." It may not have even been that big of a fight, might more be like a small skirmish at the end of a play that's quickly broken up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonej Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 I too worry about injuries but, Long is considered a core guy and should conduct himself as much. H e also needs to temper his frustrations since his team has a new starting QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonej Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 BTW Long did not practice according to AM1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 He's going to be 29 already before the end of the year. How many good years does he even have left in him? This was partly the reason I did not like it when they drafted him. With these injuries starting to pile up on him, his career could be over sooner than we think.
