Exactly how I feel.
He's one of the most well-spoken players I can remember having.
I couldn't stop laughing for a minute when I heard him say that, it was great.
I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING!!!!
it was awesome
Too soon
I agree, I was just trying to think of an explanation as to why he wasnt getting touches. Itll be interesting to see what happens going forward with how Loeffler uses him

# | Bitter blog - Hokies back in Top 25 but aware of what happened against Pitt last year I refer to him as Danny Coal 2.0
maybe that's generous but I've been pretty pleased with him thus far and I only expect him to get better
This is certainly interesting...I would be really interested in seeing the same stats for the last 6 games of the schedule. I think this offense is trending up whereas I think last year it was trending down.
but I don't know that without seeing the stats. Thanks for putting forth the effort....btw...I'm far too lazy to do that myself. Have a leg! :D
Brandon Facyson really doesn't sound like or conduct himself as a freshman. Amazing.
Part of me wonders if Stiney will ever move on from Tech, and if he does how will his time working with Loeffler change the way he game plans.
I never had much of a problem with any specific play that Stinespring would draw up. It was always the way those plays never gelled together to become greater then the sum of their parts. Every play that Loeffler runs is more effective because he has a counter for however the defense defends it. That didn't seem to be the case for Stinespring's offense.
Oh, and Loeffler definitely has a NFL style passing attack. His route combinations are pretty solid. Stinespring's passing game wasn't as difficult to stop.

# | Bitter blog - Hokies back in Top 25 but aware of what happened against Pitt last year I had a feeling about Byrn (I asked you about him in the preseason chat) He really has become Mr. Reliable. Thanks for the great work Andy
miami?
Whether or not Caleb is having difficulty learning the playbook doesn't matter, IMO. When you have an athlete like Joel Caleb, you need to get him the ball. Period.
If he doesn't know enough or isn't familiar enough with the duties of a running back, that's fine. That doesn't mean that he is useless though. Put in a couple of plays that feature him, either a simple screen or a simple hand off or an option pitch... something.
He's as close as you can get to a professional football player without getting a weekly pay check. And I believe he was a high school quarterback. He's not too dense to pick up a couple of plays installed in a Thursday practice.
I understand that Loeffler is trying to install his offense and has other things he wants to work on. That's fine. But I think Caleb is a special player who other teams don't have to factor into their game plan. That needn't be the case.
I'm with you almost 100%
but I think BC is a trap game. They're a physical team and they always play us pretty tough. Not to mention they have a stud of a running back. That's not to say that our defense can't handle him, but if we don't give him his due respect he could cause some problems.
My hope: That we take BC seriously and get a good sense of how to stop an explosive RB. It might take a quarter and some change to get accustomed to him, but it will help us prepare for Duke Johnson.
We take that experience down to Miami and force Morris into some poor decisions and take advantage of at least an interception. BUT that's way out there..
for now...

is he having difficulty learning the playbook too perhaps? During the UNC game, true freshman Jerome Wright (6'2" 220, about the same as Caleb) seemed to be getting touches as what I would have envisioned Caleb as getting as a receiving H-Back coming out of the backfield. He is newish to the position too I believe as I remember him being moved to FB for a while before we found Sam the Hulk Rodgers.
Wright is only listed as having 2 catches, but they must have been on big downs as it seemed like he was getting more touches during the game that I would have thought Caleb would be getting if he could.
Stiney has always seemed like a really nice guy...and I never disliked him as a person...but damn...he wasn't cut out to be a coordinator
other teams shouldn't have to.....they're getting paid a lot of money and spending a lot of time during the week doing exactly what french and mason do...but more in depth. If they need to come here and see the breakdowns that are done by fans in their free time that means they have much bigger problems to worry about and they wouldn't beat us anyway.

# | Bitter blog - Hokies back in Top 25 but aware of what happened against Pitt last year We owe it to them. Also Clemson, when that time comes.

# | Bitter blog - Hokies back in Top 25 but aware of what happened against Pitt last year We should run up the score, pass up the score, blocked kick up the score an pick 6 up the score.... Leave no score unturned
On TTL, good ol' Stiney said he wisely chose not to get on Twitter, until no longer OC. I can appreciate the self-deprecating humor, and even more his loyalty to the program,
Erm, ACCCG is technically post-season, so we'd be 11-1 before it if we perfect the rest of our regular season.

# | Bitter blog - Hokies back in Top 25 but aware of what happened against Pitt last year This is one game, where we kind of need to run-up the score.
