# | Bitter blog - Countdown to the ACC Kickoff, No. 8: Laurence Gibson and Jonathan McLaughlin We'll work with what we've got. McLaughlin in particular looked rather un-inexperienced through most of the spring. Hopefully that'll carry over into the fall and especially on August 31st. No chance Bama doesn't come after him with everything they've got.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Feel like that shouldn't be the case, especially listening to their "fan base."

# | Bitter blog - Countdown to the ACC Kickoff, No. 8: Laurence Gibson and Jonathan McLaughlin this right here makes me the most worried going into 2013. not that these two cant perform, i'm excited to see both on the field, but thats a lot of youth and inexperience at obviously critically important positions.
I like this kid's film a lot. Admittedly, there are a couple David-Wilson-in-the-Sugar-Bowl moments, but for the most part, he looks like he's got pretty good vision and a good feel for when to accelerate (which he can do very quickly) and be patient. Wouldn't mind seeing him in O&M, especially after a year or two of Gentryfication.
Yes, it goes, "Which came first, the chicken counting or the egg hatching?"
Isn't there some sort of saying about egss... or chickens... and hatching... and counting?
It was very NCAA Football-esque, where all running backs are pretty much interchangeable and you usually just stick the fastest guy back there and run him wherever the heck you want.
Oh the irony of UVA only being able to show football to him
My goodness, I do love football.
French, you're right on the money, as usual. I've watched each of those games at least twice this off-season, and the fact that A&M had BOTH the solid running game and the complementary passing game (as opposed to just Johnny Football making magic) to beat Bama cannot be overstated. We don't need touchdowns every play, we just need a 2nd and 6 consistently.
Any relation to the other 2 T. Edmunds from Dan River?
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he meant to type North Carolina instead of UNC to keep it in alphabetical order
Tennessee never offered. If they do, I could still see them being a problem. Lets just hope that doesn't happen
What I like about this is that Grimes proves that he doesn't need the 5 star recruit to succeed. What he needs is the players he knows can win for him. Boise State has had really impressive OL's in the past and they did it with 2 and 3 star kids. I don't want to compare us to them as we should be more highly respected as a program but it shows that successful OL play is something that needs the right personnel, not star personnel. That being said I will take a few 5 stars sprinkled in now and again, so long as Grimes gets the kids he needs.
Tennessee was thought to be biggest threat. They're not in his top 5 so I think that'll wrap it up. Chalk one more up to the good guys.
Was the alphabetical order mistake made in the tweet too? But .. nice.
I know we probably won't here from Walker until later but I really hope we get some additional commits off of this weekend. I thought there would be at least 2 people as many seniors want to commit before their final high school season starts.
anybody hear of any news from Sunday's Senior Day?
25 recruits, so long as the total scholarship players on the team aren't more than 85. But you can oversign and greyshirt a player meaning that he may enroll the spring of the following year. In that case I believe the player counts for the following years class.
Reminds me of BeamerBall.
I will do a more detailed commentary before the game, but if I am VT, I run one back, two tight end sets. I move my tailback a little closer to the line. I run a ton of inside zone, compliment it with a inside zone counter similar to what Pitt and BC used with so much success last year. If the back side OLB overpursues, some big plays can develop.
Running the football and getting in good down and distance situations limits the ability of Alabama to run those zone blitzes. Also, last season, almost 100% of the time, if the offense is in the shotgun, the Bama defense will shift to a 40 front with the jack linebacker down in a 3 point stance. Georgia, A&M, and LSU had success by going into the shotgun, identifying the defensive end who moved down to play a 3 technique, and then double him and run quick hitting dives right at that spot, with some counter action behind the quick dive to keep the linebackers honest. All three ran the ball well, but only A&M had the passing game to effectively compliment the ground game.
My apologies for the upload fail but i finally figured it out. Thanks to Chaz. This was mostly a test to make sure I could upload, because as most of you might be able to tell, I'm in an interesting location right now... I leaked one of my best pictures on twitter today but when I compile a handful of them the next few days I will create a post.
So would a mainly pistol-style offense gameplan utilizing draws, read options, screens, and play actions effectively neutralize the aggression that the 3-4 zone blitzing scheme presents?
There is a camera icon above the text box when posting a comment. However, the picture needs a url. Therefore, if you're tying to insert a picture from your computer, you'll have to upload the image. Imgur is easy: http://imgur.com/
Joe need to kick this dude out!
To avoid confusion, I'm assuming that they're showing him tape of VT games. Otherwise, that statement would make no sense.
