This is good news for us. Hopefully their O'line becomes a weakness with a new coach and new players.
Here is David Cornwell's video.
Kid can play. No doubt.
Would be excited to have him on campus.
I thought JJ out coached Turgeon by leaps and bounds last night FWIW.
Thank God someone knew what I was talking about.
People who don't know basketball complaining about coaching decisions.
It's not like Tech gave up 80 points or anything.
The (lack of) offense was a problem. If Brown/Eddie could hit even 20 percent of their open 3's, the pick and roll would be twice as effective. Nowadays, defenses have no fear leaving them open on the perimeter to defend Eric's drives.

Granted, he is more of a pure QB than a scrambler, but I think I would define him as "Balanced." Because he doesn't really run unless he's pressured, but when he does he has way more moves than a "Pocket-Passer" would have in the open field.
Also, most of his throws in this highlight video are on the run, which reminded me of the line in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (sorry, couldn't find the clip) where he's demonstrating how good he can shoot with a pistol and asks "Can I move?" The guy he's going to show his skill to says quizzically, "Move???" And then Sundance drops to a crouch and fires four or five shots directly into the target. When done, he turns to the guy and says matter-of-factly, "I'm better when I move."
Juju sucked
Ole Miss wins
I'm not sure, but I don't think Andre Brown took up that much cap room.
Also, love the video series. Is there another part after the Miami/BC yet?
Thanks for posting. Prior to this I could only find his early years highlights.
About 20 seconds in, I thought to myself, "Well the long ball shouldn't be a problem." I like that he has some mobility because Loeffler indicated he would like a qb that can run some. Also, whenever he's scrambling, his eyes are always down the field, that's impressive for a high schooler. And I love the play when he lowers his shoulder and gives the boom to that defender on the sideline.
I just hope he's smart and tough.
Haha.
Thanks for the interesting info, jhs! Glad we could help you occupy your class time, and benefit of it ourselves.
At the 6:36 mark, look at him look and pump to the left, come back to the far right, and then throw to the middle of the field...while on the move.

Jacob Park is the real deal. I found these highlights from his Junior Year. He looks very good. I was most impressed by his release, throwing motion, and accuracy - - he has a very, very quick release, a compact throwing motion, and he was very accurate on many different types of routes, including deep balls where he demonstrated excellent arm strength. He also is exceptional at throwing on the run - - he maintains his throwing motion and accuracy while scrambling, which is unusual for a high schooler who typically have a tendency to try and crank their body into it.
On several occasions, he looked off DBs and went through several reads before throwing the ball - again, very impressive for a high schooler.
His HS offensive is a pro-style, including I and spread stuff. Sound familiar?
Although I guess he's been labeled as a pocket / pro-style kind of guy, he is athletic enough to run some read option. On one play, he lowered his shoulder and delivered a big hit before going out of bounds on what looked to be a pretty physical / large safety.
His high school tape, from a quarterback / passer perspective, is better than that of Carlis and Bucky.
Needless to say, I'm excited and hoping that Loefler can real him in.

This is when we find out how good of a leader Green is and how good of a coach JJ is. The team just played unbelievably hard in 3 straight games against top half ACC teams, now we find out what they have. Are they going to crumble? Because if we can play like that against some other teams (like GT this Saturday) then a win is almost a guarantee. They can't let this get them down.
I was just thinking that, with regards to your first comment. I feel like there's a little pot-kettle action goin on there.
Stoutland is the second member of Saban's 2012 staff to leave for a new job. Greg Brown was recently named Alabama's new secondary coach after the departure of Jeremy Pruitt, who left to become Florida State's defensive coordinator.

Layman is way quicker and much more athletic than Beyer. Did you see his dunk? He also has a couple inches on him so could post him up and score that way. He could also drive by him with ease.
I really understand what you are trying to say in your comment here. It seems to be that you think we have already lost this game we havent even played yet. You are automatically giving them a 17-20 point spot spread against us.
We are the Hokie Nation, we dont give up on our team no matter what the circumstances are. We will beat bama, our coaches have finally made the nessacary changes to get us back to the upper echelon of college football. I do not like this post one bit my friend. We have a cornerback who is injured and drugged up talking about he is ready to beat bama, and you say "if" we hold em to 17 points or 20 points... Last time I checked Hokie colors are orange and maroon, not chicken shit colors. Any given saturday, we can beat any team in the nation. Who cares is epsn is in bed with the sec and everybody wants them to win? Who cares they signed the number 1 recuriting class? Who cares they have back to back national titles? Not me, none of this will matter once our team walks in to that dome ready to take care business. If you are not ready to give up everything you have already lost. If you never give up then you cant lose. We are the Hokie Nation and we will beat bama no matter how many points you want to give them already.
