Some dude I talked to during the game last night said that Long has said that Collins would never let him call the plays he wanted to call. It appears in watching the games under Key thus far that Collins exercised a lot of veto power over all his assistants, most notably Thacker. That being said though, from what I have seen thus far without the cancer called Collins running everything, even now, being allowed (I assume) to call the offensive plays he wants to call, Long still sucks as an OC. His play calling, mainly, but not limited to, plays in the red zone defies all reason.
