Jake Long Fears No Man
Ha ha. So I guess Jake Long is doing pretty well in camp. He was going up against this defensive end who had a little sissy fit and threw some punches at Jake's gigantic frame. This article descibes it best:

Frustrated after he was dominated by rookie tackle Jake Long on consecutive plays in a position drill, defensive end Phillip Merling sent a couple of right hooks into the chest of the Miami Dolphins' No. 1 pick.
Long, who was much more surprised than hurt -- it actually looked a little bit like bullets bouncing off Superman's chest -- did not retaliate and the little scuffle was broken up quickly.
"I just stood there and took it," Long said. "It was just the heat of the moment. When you're working hard, stuff like that flares up. But it wasn't too much."
