beat me to the punch. +1
I wonder if this means Kory Holden is Blacksburg bound.

# | Evans seems to be getting more First Team Reps: Notes from the 4/5/16 Practice Ok cool - we did that some with Tyrod a bunch too I think. Same with Logan when we had Wilson in the backfield, but after he graduated we went with the inverted veer option as opposed to the standard option.
And to your point, I was too impatient and went ahead and saw the Wisky vs TCU game (OneHourFootball channel, y'all), and saw exactly what you're talking about - basically took JJ out of the run game entirely!
yeah, sure, but I think everything should be weighted. For instance, somebody who is supremely talented at delivering pizzas in less than 15 minutes (contribution) but also kills people on weekends (mistake) isn't going to be viewed in a neutral light given that they have the same number of contributions as mistakes. I think most people would agree that delivering pizzas in a timely manner carries far less weight than murder.
You can't just cancel out transgressions with so-called contributions. In the grand scheme of things, anything that a football player (or any athlete, really) does on the playing surface pales in comparison to any laws they break. I honestly don't give a crap how talented an athlete somebody is; if they continually fail to obey laws they are not a person I can support in any way.
Sorry for bringing up such an old thread, but...
And who are Rey's parents?

Yeah, he could probably smoke 'em as a Camel.
All I'm saying is that if you want to judge someone as a human being, you do have to consider their contributions, not just their mistakes.

# | Experience Standing Out to Fuente, Devin Wilson Trying His Hand at Wide Receiver No one said that Frank wasn't competitive and didn't seek to build on his success. Because that's the opposite of the truth. Naturally coach speak is for the media and fans. But a lot of the time what a coach says to the media echoes his message to the team in private away from the media. That's of course not true all the time as we saw with Frank. The only point I'm trying to make is it's nice to hear a coach speak about wanting more out of his team all the time. That's all. If that's deep-end homerism then so be it.

# | Satchel Pierce Tweets He Plans to Transfer From Virginia Tech Both left after Buzz was hired but before the next school session started.
What was the concrete proof that I missed about him staying, and who would be the most likely to signal his departure?

# | Sleeker Settle Making Noise on a Deep Defensive Line, Tremaine Edmunds Set for Breakout Year I disagree, he hasn't shown the physical ability to drive through the player while making a tackle.
Pierce was released from his NLI at Marquette to follow Buzz to VT, so it's certainly not unprecedented.

# | Excellent SBNation article on Fuente and his anticipated impact on VT's offense Wow never seen Sam Rogers get talked about that much in a national article like that... glad to see it. I was seeing the argument he was laying out about passing getting so hyped when it hit me, he didn't even mention our star at RB! All aboard the hype train!
Not personal offense. Just irritation. Your question doesn't make sense. I'm all for substantiated rumors and theories, but your question isn't that. This site has been over the Buzz leaving issue which has pretty much been put to bed for this year and of all players leaving, Pierce is the least likely to signal Buzz's departure.
Articles I read said that the police were alerted that he was wanted and in the area.

# | Excellent SBNation article on Fuente and his anticipated impact on VT's offense It will be interesting to see if we trot out any freshman at WR this year. I like to hope that Deablo will be able to make an impact.

# | Experience Standing Out to Fuente, Devin Wilson Trying His Hand at Wide Receiver But come on man...it makes us feel better to believe there is a new sense of urgency in town. Because we need to believe that there will be different outcomes. New coach must be better man, because otherwise we gave up a legend for like nothing. (in my head that's the Dude talking)
In all seriousness though, I am very optimistic, not because I think Fuente has any more urgency or is less complacent than Frank (I don't believe that to be the case at all) but because you marry a high powered offensive minded head coach with one of the best defensive minds in the college game and we have the recipe for some seriously good football.

# | Excellent SBNation article on Fuente and his anticipated impact on VT's offense If Rogers can learn to run a couple of key routes
??? It takes a brave man to pose that as a question. A better question would be if we can find a third receiver who can block, run routes and catch. We could always trot a tailback out for a real power look and line them up wide if we had to.

# | Sleeker Settle Making Noise on a Deep Defensive Line, Tremaine Edmunds Set for Breakout Year I hope he's not back there returning them routinely, but REALLY want to see him trot out there as a punt returner at least once this year, just to see if they could tackle him. Everyone loves fat guy touchdowns, right? I want to see if a 340-lb DT scoring a punt return TD could break the internet.
After much ridicule, these ASSOLs decided to become ASLS instead.
Best part of the article? Scalia's "I just farted" face. Breyer is not amused.
I don't buy it. At all. This is essentially the Cowboys' argument in defense of Greg Hardy. Your on-field accomplishments don't mean jack if you're a shitty human being.
