Duke losing to Wake is irrelevant as far as putting us in the driver's seat. The only one that matters is if Duke loses to UNC and we beat UVA.

Just to clarify what this means: If Duke beats Wake, they will be the 3:30 game and we will be the noon game. If they lose to Wake, then VT is back in the drivers seat and the VT/uva game is then the more important game.

(although, technically, Duke losing to Wake puts us behind in a very likely tiebreaker: 3-way with GT and Duke)

he will be a #neverorange

Not arguing with your assessment and I haven't done much film study... none compared to you. Film study at the end of the day is how you form your best assessments IMHO. You certainly have a learning curve where you pick up twice what you did on your 1000th game as your 10th game, but nothing beats film study IMHO. Just saying I really like JC as a person and hope he finds another gear.

Agree I think Edmunds can do anything better than any RB we have. I don't think he is confident about bouncing it outside and he seems to lack a little bit of body awareness (weird to say that about an athlete of his caliber) in space. I almost wonder if he doesn't need deeper studs every time he goes out there but deeper studs always worry me w/r injury.

Anyway, comparative advantage I almost think if JC were jamming and I love the FB (Rogers), but he is undersized. Edmunds is so nasty at POA, I would like to have seen more of him at FB, with JC, Mangus, Caleb at RB. I know its absurd, but Edmunds could get paid good money and have a long career at FB. I know no college RB with potential would want to switch at this point....but a few plays at FB couldn't hurt could it? Maybe I'm a sk stupid fk, but I would really like to see Edmunds hitting guys in the hole without having to carry a football. Occasionally. 2 late in season I'm sure. Just a football fantasy of mine at this point. JC, Edmunds as RB FB or putting them in the slot as receivers. If they put their best cover guy on Edmunds I think it would make JC more effective. As it is I think the coaches really like Rogers as a receiving option and I'm not sure who you would think more effective... Rogers or JC. Would really like to see some quick 3-5 step drops under center with FB, RB, TE as the primary receiving options from the slot. We need mismatches and too often our WRs can't get it done on their own. I could see these guys creating issues with quick hits and that might lead to more need for run support from the S, DBs of the opposing teams. I really think our WR corps can be so shut down that it creates problems for the rest of the offense. Slow developing play calls after the opponent has figured out that our WRs are not a threat means that they can dial up blitzes all day like MD did. Turn the tables and see if they can cover our speed in the backfield while also having to account for TE CK. We did so well early on with our misdirection but without misdirection all our completions were contested. We don't have the juice to straight up beat decent coverage teams IMHO. We have to stress the mismatches we can get. RB in Edmunds IMHO is one of our best opportunities for a mismatch. They may have to cover him with a guy that then allows Rogers/JC/CK to get open.

I have gotten the sense especially early on that LT doesn't trust Edmunds. I don't know if my sense is correct or not, but I have often felt that when open in the flat Edmunds has to be the last option and beyond the sticks to get the ball. The recent screen passes excepted I still feel like we don't throw / read option his way enough. Anyway....pure speculation but I would guess this lack of trust flows from the OC through LT. I think the kid has a ton of untapped potential and I really hope we get to see more of him. He gave me great hope in the Maryland game and then we didn't use him very much. He is an athletic specimen more than a RB at this point, I get it.... but I think he is one of the best playmaker and potential mismatches that we have. It might not look pretty but I think he will be effective given the chances. His size and COD give opposing players pause even in tight spaces, which creates space for him to run through. That is a RB quality that as it develops will pay dividends. But he needs more carries!

Rambling again.... sorry.

I was just pondering, is his name pronounced like Tobias from the Blue man group?

Randy Edsall is the new Mike London. Except more annoying. MUCH more annoying. And more evil. I really despise Edsall. more so than Jagodinski.

Its not really a phrase, but do any of you have that one guy or girl in your office that just think they're absolutely hilarious? Always cracking corny jokes and whatnot?

So I got a Bed, Bath, and Beyond ad yesterday in the mail and guess what they sell now.
Sega Genesis game system and the Atari game system. Crazy!! I had a Sega game gear
light years ago. Loved Sonic the Hedgehog.

I think being broke has saved me from going hog wild on steam. So many great deals...
