    The Longo love affair is about to be over.

    Watching the Rebs' replay... That team is softer than Matt Luke's titties.

    The Longo offense... Its cute and kitschy to say things like "we only have 4 plays blah blah" and "our WRs don't have routes, we read the D and run to space". That's cool when you are killing cupcakes for two weeks. Everyone is sucking you off and saying that's genius, its so simple and effective.

    Fast forward to a team with a pulse and a brain, suddenly that philosophy doesn't work. If your playbook is truly "reading the D and running to space" then the other team will line up the same way each time and see how you "read" that particular alignment; then they know what you are going to do. Hence the 2nd-half shut-down of the go-Longo scheme.

    On the Landshart D: There is literally no one on that back 7 who would get a game rep on our team, Benito Jones and Breeland Speaks would be in the 2 deep for our DL if they were in shape at all.
