Are we talking something minor or season ending? For instance could rubbing some of Beamer's favorite sauce
on it fix the issue?
I'd drop QBs down to a C or C- considering our lack of depth. Hopefully Leal or Young will come around...JuJu is all washed up.
I forgot how hard we dominated Clemson that game...
The 2006-07 defenses are part of the top five all-time at Tech. They were never paired with a capable enough offense, like matching one of the big money beers the BCO drinks with a McDonald's cheeseburger.
Lord Xavier Adibi was a beast, he just glided across the line and darted through it when he had to.
Vince will get some action w Blake potentially out
seriously though, Shane Grahm is the easy pick. At the time, I believe I was the only person out of 65k in Lane Stadium that thought Carter wouldn't suck every single week.
Back in the day I was a student manager at Dietrick and was in charge of the football team dinners every night, so I tended to always be big fans of the guys who were actually nice and would talk to me, including Carter, Michael Vick, and D-Hall. It was always fun to run into some of the guys downtown and go up and talk to them while sorority girls were freaking out that there were football players in the bar lol
UVA game he wears a bowtie under his pads
Hahahahaha
Best part of the whole thing is coach's speech after, buzz kill
Well if that isn't ominous I don't know what is.
Greg Boone's block at 2:31 of the RW 2099 video.
Wayne Ward's block at 1:43 of the Andre Davis video (and replayed later).
Andre Davis definitely on the team. Great speed and could score on passes and returns.
I like Kam Chancellor. He wasn't the greatest at pass coverage but is a physical beast and hard hitter.
Lots of big hits in this game:
bout to drop another half point.
Unforunately, this position might be what will holds our offense back. Huge concerns in the blocking game, which makes offensive sets more focused on 3-4-5 WR's... My biggest fear is that the lack of run blocking ability by our TE will lead to a one dimensional offense... This will put a ton of strain on Logan, which is another huge question mark for our offense.
But who knows, we have somehow built offensive lines with TE's so maybe there is hope!
first off Joe's videos made me miss VT so much and at the same time got me so excited for the next season.
second, how can you leave Macho Harris off of your team. he is one of the best players i have ever watched play. his field vision was amazing. other than that one hiccup i think your team is great.
Although mine was simply a list of the best guys of the 2000's. Though knowing what I know now, I don't know how NOT to include Boykin. And how the hell did I ever pick Wilford over Andre Davis!? And yes I'm still taking Randall over Vick.
Have a look though if you'd like.

another good choice.
I was negligent and forgot to include Schmitt in my additions. He's one of my all-time favorite Hokies. He was awesome because he was big and wasn't afraid to stick his head into a pile. He has to be the emergency plan at defensive tackle.
As the founder of the "Nic Schmitt is the God of Punters" Facebook group, I'll have to respectfully disagree with your choice of Sunshine at punter. While he might have been a better punter, he was not capable of ripping your arms off and beating you with them if he wanted to!
my man has multiple personalities ... love his game day fire!f
how you think he fires em up for the hoos or carolina or gt?
was that, he didn't have to reverse field and run around for 5 minutes before he finally found a hole. Dude got the ball, hit the hole and that was it. While I think KJ was a better "athlete" then RMFW, he WAS NOT a better runner. Every textbook attribute you want to see in a good runner, you see in RMFW... vision, acceleration, running down hill... guy is a complete back.
As far as I know it's just the number he used for the IFAF World Championships.
i didn't say the best, but my favorites.
ferguson easily our best blocking fb, but i loved how variable the O was with parker.
suggs is my no.2 rb, not jones. jones didn't have the vision, tho he had the physical.
pugh or beasely could have had powell's spot, an overlook. not davis. he was a tweener and not a complete dt.
loved delricco he almost made it for his fishbone shirt he had in college. the lil things, you know.
BeerControl,
That was a great list, although I have a couple of suggested edits.
First of all, Jarret Ferguson is the best fullback I have seen watching Virginia Tech football. He was an outstanding in between the tackles runner out of the option look, and it is no coincidence that the Hokies have not effectively featured the speed option since he graduated, despite a wonderful array of speedy QB's and electric tailbacks.
Ryan Williams circa 2009 was the best single season performance from a Virginia Tech tailback. Both Kevin Jones and Lee Suggs get consideration for having better overall careers. And, I still cringe a little when I remember that Lamont Pegues actually started over Shyrone Stith.
Your defensive line picks are indicitive of the biggest reason why VT has been a conference champion but have not reached the top of the BCS mountain. We have numerous terrific defensive ends to choose from (Cornell Brown and Corey Moore are my top choices, with Tapp, Engleberger, and Worilds all right there.) However, there has only been one really dominant defensive tackle in JC Price. They have had other disruptive tackles (Powell, Jonathan Lewis, David Pugh, Barry Booker, and my favorite Jim Davis) but no dominant two gap NFL caliber has emerged. I have said for the better part of the decade that the biggest barrier to Virginia Tech winning a BCS is the development of legitimate two gap NFL caliber defensive tackles.
At linebacker, George Del Ricco at mike, Xavier Adibi at backer, and Brandon Semones at whip have to get consideration.
I think you nailed the defensive backfield. After dealing with overrated guys like Whittaker and DeAngelo Hall getting torched in big games for years, Brandon Flowers defined the position for the Hokies. And, I can't think of a better game by any Hokie DB than Jimmy Williams taking away half the field against Brock Berlin.
Dont forget the run with all the broken takles against ecu in 09
RW had two runs just like kj's lsu run. although RMFW's best run is hard to choose from pulling the nc state dood 10 yards, the double juke against bc, the miami 60 yarder, i have to go with the diving td against bama. nasty.
Could be major upper body muscle damage, not not good for an OL
