I'm glad the mullet is still hanging around.

True, but that little cotton ball on his chin needs to go. O-linemen need to go full DeChristopher with the facial hair or just shave it off.

I sometimes wish JC would get out in the open field pick a target (CB or Safety) and just plow into them, don't dodge them just hit'em... then we can start calling him the "Wrecking Ball"

I kind of thought he and Mullet Man would do a Big Ball Small Ball Block on Bosa. Guess that double team ain't happening this year.

F = M * A

JC can bring the Acceleration, and he can dead-lift my house, but he just ain't got enough Mass to generate much Force.

The team really seems to be enjoying some good chemistry.

Reporter "Do you feel like youre going to make big strides this year?"

Teller: "Well youre only as strong as guys around you so right now, no, maybe this fall."

Wyatt teller certainly cannot be accused of using coach speak. He just puts it out there.

If you take that last line out of context, it kind of loses its meaning. He ties it back to his answer at 2:19, where he said he isn't focused on individual accolades during practice but rather unit cohesion and development. I think he's saying when we actually get into the season, THEN he'll focus on making individual strides in his own game. Right now it's all about the OL as a whole to him.

Wyatt has come a long way since he was a young boy. He had a very troubled past that I won't get into but to see him mature and become the man he is now is very inspiring.

All three were very impressive. Really, impressive; and I'm proud to support them. That's what team sports are ALL about. Go Hokies!
