I don't watch all that much NFL, so take these thoughts for what they are worth. Shaq getting drafted by the Pats is a fairly predicatble outcome and it speaks volumes for the young man. NE has notoriously positioned themselves as a "middle round draft team" when building their roster...

I have been wanting to see this style of runner at BB for quite a while, you know, a high end physical guy who can really pound it. We have had some tough guys at the position in Allen, Sims, and Days, but I think you will find this kid to be from a slightly different mold. I might be wrong, but...

I pretty much agree with all of this, but I will say, it will be hard to duplicate our success with TOs regardless of how improved we are. I will be just as happy if we field more punts next season in the place of TOs, but it sure would be great to get both!

To follow up, I think we will be a good team. Don't get me wrong. Personally, the overall quality of the spring game leads me to believe the program is headed in the right direction. It was by far the best feeling contest on both sides of the ball, in my view. I have a confidence in the team and...

I have to admit, in years past, I have begrudgingly involved myself in pre-season prognostications from time to time on this board, but never with any sense of conviction really. Look folks, here is the bottom line: none of us really know what we will have next year. To make matters worse, we...

I wonder if OSU thought they were going to torch VT last year? Never underestimate the enemy....... EVER.

Is it just me, or was this article much ado about nothing. Like we haven't seen plus numbers in the box, with shallow safeties having run support responsibilities on the edge. You would think the guy invented a time machine from the article. I think Foster is a good coach and he obviously had a...

I didn't really watch these guys much, but I did notice once how quick I thought Klock looked. I can't tell you much about his blocks, but he can move.

Yeah, how fast are you......then how fast are you being chased by a bear. I get it.

That just shows their ignorance. They actually did stop the dive fairly well for much of the game, at least the dive to the A gap. CPJ devised a great counter to their strength at DT. The play that was so successful was us actually stacking 3OLs to the play side of center and then pulling the...

I think you are exactly right about this and should not apologize to anybody, including Nesbitt, for saying it. Byerly IS the second best QB we have had in the last 8 years, and beyond really. It is too bad for him to be here along side JT, but it is great for GT. Although Tim doesn't have...

Well said, "speed on the football field". Every so often a guy comes along who is just as fast with full pads on and carrying a ball as he is in track shoes, empty hands, and shorts. Dwyer was that guy. I remember, at least a decade back now, I think, a guy at BC who was a great runner too. He...

51% in this offense is pretty darned good if you ask me. We don't do dump offs and screens. Show me other teams who hit 50% of balls chucked down field. To answer your question, I wouldn't ever really expect too much over, say, 53 or 54%. If we do, it means we are not running like we used to and...

"They can't stop it folks" Brent Musberger

One thing that is great about BBs, and more specifically, BB speed, is that when you break contain up the middle, nobody has an angle on you. In fact, you have the angle on most of them in pursuit. That is part of what made Dwyer so effectively fast. 4.6 is enough speed, if you are breaking free...

My worries about the WR position are mostly about the drops and not physical ability to separate etc. This offense creates a lot of space for WRs to work with. We will be getting people open. Remember all the drops we suffered through in the first half of the CPJ era? We had bad passing and bad...

I want Devine to get his future NFL body into CFB playin shape. I want him to develop enough stamina that he never has to come off the field. I want him lean enough to pull and get down field sometimes. He has shown he can get movement out of people drive blocking as well as pass protect on the...

I will take a bucking bronco at BB any day, whether he is a threat to outrun the defense 80 yards or not. We have speed in a lot of places. It would be nice to have it at BB, but as a baseline, we need a guy who is really hard to stop short of a 4 YD gain. That is the yeast that gets mixed with...

Did anybody think Tony Hollings was going to be "great" when he switched over from being a second string defensive back? He burst on to the scene like a lightning bolt before he went down with a knee. You never really know. Marcus obviously has good feet and a little bit of "want to" in the way...

I have just been sitting here thinking about how nice it might be to have a true difference maker at the DT position this year. When you get a guy like JHD into the mix, it just seems to make everybody else better. DTs typically don't get a lot of sacks, but just having a guy with some push and...
