well, since I posted my comment 5 min before you posted your "embedded youtube version" it was already too late to shush me :p
Great job!
shhhh, I wanted to see how many people would try to play the "embedded youtube version" below.
the blacktips and spinners with some tigers and bulls mixed in have been thick south of Cape Lookout for a couple of years.
That would've been my guess, but I was hoping you'd say a closer date.
Also, don't ever stop doing what you're doing, because it's awesome.
Got to go out to the CBBT and fish off the pier on Sunday. First time fishing in a long while and caught 25 small croakers. Took the gf, which was her first time saltwater fishing, and she caught 8. Looked like most of the other people on the pier were getting croaker as well, but did see one flounder that was a keeper and a couple small blues.
Considering UT still has over 2 months for a bunch of their players to be arrested or tossed out school, I am putting it all on VT to win outright.
So is Wuhu kind of like the Chinese equivalent of Charlottesville?
Spent last week in North Topsail Beach, NC with the family. Did a little surf fishing with my brother using squid, shrimp, and blood worms. The squid and blood worms were the most popular, but we didn't catch anything notable. Just a handful of pinfish and a couple sea mullet. We tried using some of the smaller pinfish as bait one evening, but had no luck catching anything more significant.
I saw on Facebook that a couple of "researchers" caught an 11 ft. Tiger Shark a few miles up the beach from where we were staying/fishing on Wednesday evening. Glad we were swimming there all week.....
Yeah, accuracy concerns are maybe more concerning than arm strength.
But we really haven't seen much of Evans yet. Both issues may be non-issues in this offense.
It wasn't in any of the few highlights and I wasn't there. We have seen glimpses in the pre-spring snippets but they never show more than maybe 4 guys in a frame.
I have a feeling the first we'll see very much of it is at Bristol.
Or, if memory serves, just run with it. He had a ton of 15+ carry games those first two years starting.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Those were the gritty details I was hungry to hear. The TN thing has a weird feel to it. I am hoping we don't throw the baby out with the dork magic in terms of running what we are good at executing.
All but 2 of the accusations have either been tried or investigated and they have been found innocent. One of the cases is over 20 yrs old. The 2 left may or may not be found guilty in trial next year. The whole suit has been a reaction by a select group of former lady Vol AD members who don't like our AD (not many people do). The biggest reason to settle is that you don't want a college coach or members of the AD under oath where anything can be asked. That goes for any school. Anything shady that they have done (paying players, changing a grade, etc) can be uncovered. Our coach folds in close games, I can't imagine how quick he would fold under oath.
Don't take it personally, who else is there to pick on other than each other? It is, after all, the off season, and this site is rife with smart/smart alecky folks looking to riff on anything they can catch with their teeth.
We all know Foster's defenses are much more "break but don't bend" in philosophy.
I think you mean "bend but don't break".
If Motley is to be used to spell or backup Evans, he really has to be able to execute the same plays (to an extent) , or we're right back to telegraphing plays.
This is not French. The French I know would never answer anything with only one word. Leg up for the joke, though, and kudos galore for a great breakdown. Lotta meat in that sammy, French. Thanks.
Temple and Navy
-both games Memphis was missing some key skill position guys
-Navy and Temple had terrific disciplined linebacker play so guys were not out of position on misdirection, and without those skill guys, Memphis couldn't win those one on one battles. Matekevich (sp?) was the best linebacker I saw on film all year
vs Houston
Memphis D couldn't stop Houston in the second half
Other negatives for Memphis- when they struggled, it was because they took an inordinate amount of penalties and got in bad down and distance situations. Their OL did not protect the QB well, so 7 step long developing pass plays often did not go well unless Lynch kept the play alive on his own.
HokieJeep, I'm no biblical scholar, but didn't the people eventually make it to the promised land, even though Moses didn't ?
Yep- Durkin is very similar physically to Cross, but he has never been asked to block, and he spent most of his career not only as a quarterback but also as a primary ball carrier. It is a big adjustment to change into a true HBack who may only get 25-30 touches a season.
Not that I can recall, but it isn't fresh in my head and we don't have tape.
Just trying to convey positive feeling about the article and feel like I'm getting picked to death.
I think his arm strength is actually pretty good. If you watch his JUCO tape, especially from his first year, he's definitely got pretty good zip on the ball for short to intermediate passes. The longer throws are my concern. Is it an accuracy issue, or an arm strength issue? He tends to underthrow the deep balls sometimes. The accuracy issues also pop up now and again on routine short passes (high, behind the receiver). I think it's more of an accuracy issue from mechanics, which I hope can be corrected. I'm sure Fuente/Cornelsen are working with him. We may need Motley because of durability concerns in a QB run-heavy offense, but from what I've seen, Evans has better all-around skills suited to this offense than Motley.
Haha thanks, I appreciate it. These are fun to do because I can explore new areas as a designer/editor whereas other freelance projects are crunched under deadlines, so you can't really try new things
