The Tunnel

Beat me to it damn you. They will have more QB's on the roster than we have RB's, but we have no confidence in our RB's.

....you mentioned something about "never failing" when it comes to VT posters???

We've see you over on the hoo site for some spirited exchanges.....Oh wait a minutes, we can't post over there

.

Translation: all my argument's weren't backed up on facts and i was crushed for it. I'm going back to the UVA message board where I can't be proved wrong by any Hokies because they can't post there.

So UVA can "pull the offer" but VT can't? I guess thats how it works on your board.

Fair enough. I don't agree with the ban that Jamie put in place, but it was asked for by a lot of the members there, so I understand why he did it. I will go back and forth with anyone, so it wasn't me asking for that practice to be put in place. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong and I will freely admit it. For instance, I personally think that David Wilson is a tremendous RB. I really hope that I can get him on my Fantasy team, as this kid has all of the tools you could ask for. I wish he had been a UVA RB. That being said, I mistakenly said he didn't like contact. I guess that I made this assertion while watching him run away from the holes, and try to bounce everything outside. I know the kid has homerun speed, and if he gets a crease, he's gone. I guess I mistook his attempts at always trying to break the big play for his unwillingness to get hit. So, I can admit that I was wrong. Quite frankly, I think that DW is an exceptional RB. Of course, he has some things that he needs to work on, but what rookie RB doesn't? All of this is simply my thoughts. However, there are many Hokie posters that feel that DW did not like contact. Refer back to many of the discussions where some of you complained about the playcalling, as well as execution by some players down near the goal line. You have a big, bruising QB, and he was very effective in those short-yardage situations. But, I have read many times from many VT posters how they thought DW didn't run with power, etc in these situations, and wasn't all that effective. So, perhaps I let that thought cloud my judgment of DW's abilities. In the end, I will say that I have seen DW do many things that were simply unreal. Perhaps he does run with more power than I gave him credit for, so my apologies there.

As for JC, I still maintain my opinion of him. Once again, a great talent, but I am not sold on him being an everydown back. Nothing I have seen, nor heard has changed my opinion of this. You offered a video in a camp setting, but I have seen live game action. But, again, it's only an opinion, and he can certainly prove me wrong. Not that he really cares what one UVA poster says I'm sure. And, lastly, as for Marcus Davis, that whole thing started about an article that was written about him being one of the top 10 athletic freaks in all of college FB. Personally, I disagreed with this article, but that whole thing was written as a writer's opinion. So, my opinion is different than his was. I have seen MD while he played at Ocean Lakes. I never said he was a bad WR. Rather, I said that he was a bad QB, but was pretty athletic. He is simply not as fast as that article claimed either.

You just don't get it do you? Why come over here hating on J C Coleman? JC was rated the #3 RB in the country by Rivals, and while Smoke is a very good RB and VT would love to have him, I don't think he'll end up being rated higher than JC was, and Zach Jones certainly won't be.

What's the title of this thread? That's the only reason I am posting about JC on your board.

Wow...

"....I thought that David Wilson had all of the tools to be amazing, but he never developed the ability to run with power. He had/has all of the intangibles, but he doesn't like contact...."

Yes, if only he had the power to go with that speed...

The speed is one thing. Everyone knows the track and field All-American is fast. But the chiseled 5-foot-10, 205-pound junior has proved to be a powerful, durable runner. He has 143 broken tackles this year for 956 yards after contact.

I'll be damned I just took a hard look at VBHoo's pictures. He actually is a great dude I drank many beers with him at VT of all places. HNB your comments about basketball maybe realize who he is. He secretly loves VT he just can't admit it. HAHA
