ITS GO TIME!!!!
Now I'm curious if a comment can be green AND blurred simultaneously...
They have tried. While JC has made some catches (his best game catching the ball came against the Seminoles last year), he has a tendency to not catch the ball cleanly so he loses forward momentum. David Wilson had the same problem his senior year, which really limited his production in the passing game. Meanwhile, Chris Mangus looked much more fluid catching the ball in stride and getting up field. That was a major reason why I didn't understand why Mangus didn't play more of a role on 3rd down as the season progressed until Edmunds proved that he could make plays in the passing game as well.
The HOKIES are HUNGRY!
This year.. or it seems like that. damn good thing I don't play Jeopardy
No, the last time we went an entire season without returning one is what I was asking for.
Kyshoen Jarrett vs Pitt Sept 15th for 1000,0000 Alex
it sure is hard to work when your pre-game nerves are starting to kick in.
There's a big difference between 'has shown the ability to do' and 'can do consistently'. Lately, we have been missing the latter (at a variety of positions), and it has really, really hurt us the past two seasons.
When was the last time we didn't have a punt or kick return TD in a season under Beamer? I know it's been awhile, I just can't remember when.

It's Game Day, Woop Woop!
It's someone who wants Caleb to be the new kicker lol .. or better yet maybe its Caleb himself...
Okay, do we have a troll on our hands or just someone who doesn't realize you can fix fat-fingered downvotes yet?
Seriously, I've seen like 5 or 6 downvotes in the last two days for comments that are nowhere close to offensive or disrespectful...
It does suck that someone (or multiple people) might wind up losing starting their job, but at the same time, that's the environment you want. Competition is healthy and should bring the best out of each player, and the best players deserve to start. I think our coaches typically do this (with one or two exceptions)
Also, regarding the 'Joel Caleb is too talented not to play' comments, didn't we see the same with Nick Acree a few years ago? We're all in agreement that Caleb is a physical specimen, but if he can't seperate himself from the pack in any skill position, what are the coaches supposed to do?
I can definitely see Strong going somewhere else, because no one says "one day I'm going to coach football at Louisville."
That being said, he's a finalist for the Texas job and would take it in a heartbeat if it were offered to him.
Cant. Stop. Watching....
JC has had his shot at jet sweeps, off-tackle and pick-your-hole zone blocking. No carries beyond 13 yds! That says it it all.
Don't know extent of injury but sometimes injuries take a while. Don't know if he has done a redshirt year, but in retrospect perhaps he would have been better served with this year having been a RS.
It is what it is hopefully he can continue a college level fitness program and find another level in his athletic development.
Touche.

Come here and play QB and take a pounding all game, and only throw the ball when we're losing and the defence know's its coming; You can do that!
Play offensive line and practice diving at the knees of the defense all game, never running techniques and schemes that translate to the next level; You can do that!
Follow Calvin Johnson and Stephen Hill and practice your WR blocking on almost every play (Hey, at least those guys are playing at the next level.) WR blocking, you can do that!
Blow out Savannah St and Ga Southern, but lose to your in-state rival 10 years in a row; At GT (and LOLUVA) You can do that!

# | At what point can we say that GT is a terminally mediocre football program under PJ? "That guy" is Tim Tebow, a QB who can punish defenders like a tailback but can also throw a jump pass now and then.
makes sense, I remember Mangus got a good screen/flare pass and took it to the house this year. Am excited to see his role today, I think it could be bigger than caleb's
