I haven't watched the Julius Peppers take on Jake Long on every play. But I've watched most of their encounters. And Long, a second-year tackle out of Michigan who was the No. 1 pick in the draft, is handling him.
Long occasionally gets help; when Peppers spun off Long and moved outside, tight end Kory Sperry chipped him. But on most occasions, it's Long versus Peppers. On one play, Peppers rushed from the outside. Long knocked him down, fell on him and stayed on top of him until the play was about to end.
With 3:57 remaining, it's been a Long first half for Peppers.

Just forced a fumble, but didn't recover. Chill, Sorenson ...
