There's a joke in there somewhere about him standing up and not getting very far...
Thanks French!
Hope your Dad recuperates quickly! Happy birthday! Thanks for several usable phrases (scratch watch or wind head, not trusting someone even if their tongue was notarized) that are up there with some my grandfather would spout.
Me after finally getting to see French's breakdowns:
Somewhat NSFW

Good for him. His speed will serve him well in the CFL.
hell, we could whip out the flying V from Mighty Ducks, and I'd be excited if it got us at least 10 yards every three downs.
Man, this is great. AMo came here and helped take a WR group that was hot garbage and make it something serviceable - plus Ford, then he buggers off and sets fire to another program. It's nice knowing we got the good and they got the bad.
Fuente knows the cracks in his offensive system and I would hope he would share the keys to doing so with Bud, to make us that much better to defend against the Clemsons and UNCs of the world.
Now, close them one more time and add Sam Rogers as the H-back. Open them to watch the dancing in the end zone!
Watching Grant and Pimpleton, I'm seeing the exact same player. Obviously, the levels of competition are drastically different, but I'm as excited about Pimpleton as any other offensive recruit in this class. He's extremely quick and exceptionally difficult to tackle, and I think he's going to be just devastating on quick screens and the short passing game, as well as sweeps where we can get him the ball in space. Him paired up with Deablo with some room to operate is going to be money for the next 3 years once he gets here.
Leon King was the man but Allen Pinkett owned the field against us in the State game even though we won.
Reminds me of a Paul Johnson's offense in that way.
AMO coached pro ball? And wasn't VT his first real coaching job (having been a grad asst before that)?
Pro experience means something - but not that much. The coaching profession is littered with former pro-level athletes who aren't particularly good coaches and former non-pro level athletes who are good coaches.
Examples of the latter:
Beamer, Frank
Fuente, Justin
Williams, Buzz
Foster, Bud

# | Analyzing Virginia Tech Head Coach Justin Fuente's Run Attack so if I am reading this correctly, the irony here is that after 2 decades of complaining about screens and jet sweeps being the doldrums of VT offensive ineptitude, they are precisely what are going to deliver us the crystal ball golden vajayjay
thanks French. excellent explanations here

# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: Kalil Pimpleton Commits to the Hokies That's probably because he plays QB in high school. He may be a 2* QB, but will end up being more successful with a position change. Pretty much the same reason Kam Chancellor was a 2* recruit, because he was rated based primarily on his QB play.
Happy birthday! I'm glad your father is doing well. As someone who only had to deal with surgery for a torn labrum, it's not a fun process. Good luck on your surgery and recovery.
He did, but it was a widespread thing. Maybe even part of the "culture." LT3 was awful at selling play action. Tailback after tailback didn't fool anyone on fakes. Too many wide receivers ran lazy routes when they knew the ball wasn't coming their way. It just wasn't good fundamental football. I hate to make such a wide generalization, but it's one of those things that have to be done 100% of the time with 100% effort. Fuente knows this. The players have to buy-in the put forth the effort.
Lookin' good. For some reason I think trucking fits in really nicely with our school.
I believe this is the piece you spoke of at the spring game. Great article man.
Would that be covered in the drills we always saw on snapchat of the backs doing 1v1 against the LBs in the fall? Because he looked damn quick doing those
STRAIGHT T FOR THE WIN. THAT'LL CONFUSE THEM VOLS!
I can't recall if I saw him make a catch. I have to assume, since he was getting most of the #1 reps, that is is proficient enough that Fuente trusts him in an every down role, and that involves being able to run quick stick routes against linebackers. It would tip the hand of the offense if he is rotating in a receiving Hback (Durkin or Cunningham) on passing plays.
His tape is pretty good. His acceleration really sticks out, I think he will probably have no problem finding a role on our offense. I hope we can keep this commitment, an exciting player for sure. His film reminds me a little of Stroman's.
HS highlight film doesnt always translate to college, not even close, but he seems to get to top speed very fast and a knack for missing tacklers and breaking tackles that makes me happy he is on our side.
Thank you. I celebrated 38 by
A) eating butter chicken and cherry pie
B) telling a federal fisheries management representative that I wouldn't trust him if his tongue was notarized.
C) My dad had major shoulder surgery and got through it ok. I am glad that he is ok, and I may need the same surgery (rotator cuff/labrum tear and bone spurs) so this is a barometer for me.
Tons of players, but for large part, the players are repeating the same action time and again even on different plays. That equals muscle memory, which results in better execution, ESPECIALLY when playing at a fast tempo.
He's the master of plausible deniability.
