Not sure if Long (or whoever might be advising him) is this calculating, but this is actually a smart move. Long will be playing on a line with a bunch of player who all have a # in the 90s:

Little 91
Ryan 95
Carriker 90
Glover 97
Adeyanju 94
Hall 96
Wroten 99

By selecting a # in the 70s, he'll stand out more to announcers and stat guys. Maybe get a little more notice for that occasional tackle or half-sack.

Just a thought.
