Consider using clubs with some offset for the long irons. Many good players and professionals use slightly offset 2, 3 and 4 irons. These clubs can be hit with a more sweeping motion and will cause the ball to fly higher and land softer than irons with no offset. Some irons sets designed for better players include long irons and even mid-irons that are slightly offset.
There are many styles of irons between offset and non-offset. Very good players may gravitate toward simple blades, which can be challenging to hit consistently, while other players may enjoy the forgiveness that cavity-backs can provide.

Depending on the design of your irons, clubs without any offset can produce bad shots if you swing down too steeply. Offset irons are usually designed to compensate for excessively steep swings, but non-offset irons' reward is a more precise strike, with the clubface coming into the ball at a shallower angle. You still want to hit down and have the shaft leaning toward the target; you just don't want to smash down.
Golfers who naturally draw or hook their irons will probably favor irons without offset.
