Agree that it wasn't Shane's fault. Honestly, the rb coach shouldn't have that much in game control on who stays in, who goes out, etc. The rb coach should coach them up on techniques in individual drills and coach them up on their roles in individual meetings, but when it comes down to game preparation scrimmages and actual in game personnel management, the decision should be made by the OC. The OC is supposed to have complete control and have an understanding of what rb fits HIS plays, so he (or they in our case) would have been the ones making the calls on rb personnel. Shane is supposed to just coach them up when they do come to the sideline.
yeah, that's what I meant to say. I can't tell if I'm still drunk or hungover right now.
have changed. Well, he officially can't talk during games or something like that, but we see him breaking that all the time.
It's not like Billy Hite was in a RB's meeting and saw something with all his years of wisdom and decided not to tell Shane. The disaster last year wasn't the fault of switching from Hite to Shane, we basically had Hite + Shane and our RB's still bed-pooped all year.
if I was going to place blame on the RB problem last year, I would put it at an overall lack of offensive vision and a system erosion of confidence between the players and coaching staff. Ever worked in a bad company and performed under your abilities? That was last year's offense. Less than the sum of their parts.
Not the ACC, the ACC media. I'm hoping the coaches vote the same.
but I have two concerns:
1. He play Single A ball in HS, so even though he was a stud, his level of competition was awful. My HS played his, it's just a different world.
2. Fumbles.
so if he can go through the Tiki Barber School of Fumble Fixing, I'm excited. But damn, it would be nice to have him at LB where we really are thin for the future. We need two Trey Edmunds! (Thanks Drew Harris' HS Guidance Counselor!)
There is no way he makes this statement if they lose to Duke. Larranaga is NOT going to get any empathy from the Commonwealth of Virginia.
I applaud the ACC for giving this award to who they think is the best player in the conference, and not taking into account what team he plays for.
yes. When the FSU qb got up he started walking to the wrong sideline.
I completely forgot about this one.
Bandwagoners like a winning team. Fans like their team regardless. There's a big difference. Win or lose, a real fan is always loud.
How the athletic department embraced the Hokie nation in such an emotional game
i know most of these are obviously football highlights, but i don't want track and field to get overlooked. as everyone knows, alex ziegler won the weight throw at nationals, but don't overlook that we won ACCs in outdoor track, cross country, and indoor track consecutively. the triple crown. the cross country title this past year was the first ever for the program and if you were there, you would have been hard pressed to not get emotional when the results came back in and coach thomas went nuts.
plus, i might be biased but i think we should at least give an honorable mention to billdozervt. you guys may know him as that dude who makes videos and memes for our entertainment, but did you know that he is a sub-4:00 miler and multiple time ACC champion? maybe i'm the only one who gets hyped watching this, but it's a damn good race that came down to a couple hundredths of a second:
Someone commented on Andy Bitter's related blog post that Knowles is participating in Indoor track, and that he was probably participating in that.
the oLine did suck for the most part but I clearly remember plays where he had a hole and just didn't hit it. After those plays I looked at my friends and said, "Wtf he definitely had a hole there" and they just nodded in agreement. He's just not good.
I don't mean to be mean to him or anything, I just want what's best for our team and he is not it. Let's focus on Edmunds, JC, and Drew.
lets bring back the stick it in cheer...and maybe get some first downs consistently so we do have something to cheer for!!!! i thought we were mediocore at least for the FSU game, but its hard to cheer for a team that manages to lose by like 20 to pitt...fans like a winning time and will get rowdy when we have something to cheer for, however we should also support our team through the bad (being a skins fan i know whats up) hopefully the next season when we're good we'll just be that much louder
This is the first time I have ever seen a clip of Will Furrer. Plus, I actually dig the uniform combo. Wow. That's right up there with the Tyrod-Danny Nebraska Dagger Catch.
I remember that game very well. It was Beamer Ball at its finest.
Macho was completely gassed after that run and had to help himself to an oxygen tank.
I think that Mike Goforth deserves TKP's award. After all, he has helped to get players back on the field with his rehab and his knowledge.
This article also seem to explain it some more.
I just discovered that Jerome Wright, as I mentioned, is a 5'11" and 223 lbs tailback! That's is slightly bigger than Edmunds (6'1", 212 lbs). It sounds like we may have a pair of battering rams in the backfield!
While writing an article, I realized something, Shane Beamer's coaching background have heavily been defensive orientated, and with that in mind, I think that may be why he struggled coaching the running backs. I'm not trying to make excuse, but let's pause for a moment. He pretty much had a ready made All-ACC, ACC Player of the Year in David Wilson, and I recall he saying that starting 2012, he would be earning his paychecks. So, last season was obviously a learning experience for him. On the flip side, he does have a valuable resource in the man, Billy Hite, but I don't know how often Shane talk to him.
I am more hopeful that Grimes can get the offensive line to overachieve this fall and make it a bit easier for the running back to bring the hammer on every carries.
1. Last drive against WVU in 99/ Shane's fg
2. Tyrod to Coale then Tyrod to Roberts Neb 09
3. Cory Moore's sack/strip/fumble recovery/ TD against Clemson 99
4. Tyrod 3-31 run FSU 07
5. Last drive against Miami 11
6. Deron t bagging Paulus
7. Beating #1 UNC
8. He said give it to me Roscoe, give it to me. Miami 03
9. Darren Evans trucking the UMD safety 08
10. tie 05 Uva and 11 Uva. Absolutely owning them on their field, doesn't get better.
Don't be to excited about 40 times. Al Davis used to jizz his pants over them but I don't think it got him very far, I'm excited to watch him play don't get me wrong but I'd prefer to have a back with an edge to him who runs like he has something to prove and punishes defenders who hit him whether it be Holmes Coleman whoever, I mean who knows maybe Holmes had recommitted himself we saw it happen with ore... I'm going to trust what the new coaches do and I cannot wait for the spring game....should be interesting
Frankly, the Offensive line and the running scheme was the problem. Stinespring and Co. spent to much time working on a poorly thought out scheme change, and by the time they realized it was a disaster, the damage had been done.
I could definitely see Holmes coming back this year and becoming a key part of our offense... IF the Oline improves as well as the running scheme.
It was B.Flowers
