Jimmy Williams may have been the best college CB we've ever had.
EDIT: NFL production, maturity, etc are not considered in this statement.
This group is going to be special for years to come as well! Going to be interesting against run oriented teams that run the option. Lots of speed off the edge and solid tackling!!!
True. Plus, Kendall always seems to be right on his man and has the athletic ability to stay with just about anyone. Facyson, on the other hand, has such insane closing speed (see French's film review), that he can play off just a bit (and it's most likely by design of Bud's system/Gray's coaching). It appears QBs believe they have an open man when in reality, Facyson is closing for the pick.

Southerners have to win this one. Anyone with twitter is obliged to do these. Turkey legs FTW
With our corners I'm not sure who would want to throw the deep ball.
Buster ass spartan has jumped out to a 60-40 lead !
His Jersey is. Players can still wear the number though. It's like Michael Vick.
All four teams do something well and stand a chance of winning the division. VT has overall the strongest unit (defense) and maybe the weakest (offense). Miami has probably the best gamebreaking player in Duke Johnson. It's tough to sort the QB's out, all four are pretty good and you have to consider the talent around them. GT plays Clemson and Miami plays FSU, also very important. UNC plays NCSU, a game that is traditionally very tough to call. Miami and GT get 2 of the 3 tough division games at home whereas VT and UNC get only 1. GT, interestingly, plays UNC/VT/Miami in consecutive weeks, with an off Saturday due to the Thursday nighter.
I don't see any team with a significant advantage. It's anybodies game. It may come down to QB play.
Gah that sounds amazing..
Whenever I hear anybody who lives in Hawaii complain about ANYTHING, the appropriate response is definitely,
"Shut up. You live in Hawaii."
Nice play, ChicagoHokie."
Personally, they could be the ugliest uniforms ever, as long as the team dominates, I'm happy. Maybe the ugly factor will make the Marshall players nauseated and they won't play well.
Macho was my favorite player of all time. He was similar to those of your list, although he might have didn't put up stats like some of those guys, but he was legit in his own right. I think he was just as good those guys in your list, but I didn't think he got a good break. Flowers wasn't similar to Macho they both were great at run support and I didn't get to watch Torian play and Hosley wasn't so good at run support he was a pure cover guy which isn't bad, but D. Hall had a higher ceiling then all of them coming out of Tech he had the speed coverage combo, but he was known for gambling on a lot of stuff, or basically high-risk high reward. But overall I'm a fan of them all.
I'd say Facyson. Kendall has been shutting everyone down. He doesn't have the interceptions because nobody is throwing against him.
Bud Foster would rip your arms off for asking this question.
Then you would have to replace them with hypothetics.
You don't have to use your redshirt in freshman year.
You beat me to it, Joe. That was exactly what I was thinking and surprised that it hadn't been suggested yet. You put one of your most athletic players (assuming he is healthy) at a position that is admittedly lacking elite athleticism at the moment. Trimble and DiNardo are placeholders; capable but nothing exceptional (and this is not in regards to their effort, simply their athleticism). Exum showed early in his career - especially during his redshirt year - that he is a HUGE hitter and has a nose for the ball. Assuming he is healthy, he is a powerful guy that could really help us in both Base and quasi-Dime packages at a position of weakness. This keeps the youngin's confident and in the rotation, while enabling X to work his way back into form.
You forgot another name:
F. Beamer
I mean, his number 25 is retired after all...
Except that 2008 loss in Charlotte?
I think he means favorite player of all time.
That's nice..do that for "sacks"...see that '12'? I like that more.
I don't think this decision should have anything to do with recruiting. That's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If Exum starts over one of the young corners, Virginia Tech doesn't give playing time to young stars who have earned it. If he doesn't play significant snaps, Hokies don't put players in the NFL or respect their seniors that have built the program. It can be spun both ways, and shouldn't be a consideration.
Bud should put him in the best position to help the team win games. Winning games and Exum's health are the priorities.
Considering Exum's size, speed, tackling, and playmaking ability, I wouldn't be surprised to see him at Whip situationally.
I saw that Byrn injury as well, but he came back in the game. We even threw it to him:
3 and 3 at ECU30Logan Thomas sideline pass complete to Willie Byrn for 11 yards to the ECU19, 1ST DOWN VT, out-of-bounds (BIGGER, Zeek;THOMPSON, Chip).
1 and 10 at ECU19Logan Thomas rush up middle for loss of 2 yards to the ECU21 (DIXON, Justin;BIGGER, Zeek), PENALTY ECU offside defense 5 yards to the ECU14, NO PLAY.
1 and 5 at ECU14Chris Mangus rush up middle for loss of 2 yards to the ECU16 (OVERTON, Mntese;ROSE, Chrishon).
2 and 7 at ECU16Logan Thomas rush QK for 1 yard to the ECU15 (BIGGER, Zeek;OVERTON, Mntese).
Timeout East Carolina, clock 02:19.
3 and 6 at ECU15Logan Thomas sideline pass incomplete to Willie Byrn.
Or a sam LB in the 4-3 a la James Anderson.
Macho? Really?
D. Hall
B. Flowers
T. Gray
J. Hosely
I mean Macho was fun to watch but best CB all time? Nope.
Meyer still has a lot of playing time ahead of him before he proves himself of being a top receiver.
