….here is a video of the VT running backs doing drills. Ryan Williams is number 34 I do believe.

I asked myself, “how big of a chubby did Nick get when he saw this”

playing for CNS! Personally I can’t believe he would even say that! He seems, from that quote, to not have too much repect for Coach Hite… I would run him straight up the middle until he had enough and finally decided to listen to me… Or he wouldn’t play!!! End of story!!!

. . . .then RollMacRoll will full-speed fly into his legs and take the game out of him in the later quarters. What I love about RollMac is that he’s a “low guy”. I’ve seen him wrap people up, cut-off their angle, and seriously manhandle cats- but I’ve also noticed how he tackles. He’ll hit the RB’s, TE’s and QB in the lower body, sometimes drag them down- but still- put his shell on cats. But later on in the game, after getting hit, dragged, or flat-out popped- RollMac is the classic LB in that he just wears runners, receivers, and QB’s down. They don’t wanna try to outrun him after a while. If he’s in their vicinity, they just seem to cut back into him (knowing he’s gonna crack ’em anyway) or cover-up/cower before he DOES get to them.

He’s deserving mention of the Bronko Nagurski watch. What was his spring like? Something like 25 tackles, 5.5 sacks, two interceptions and six tackles for loss- in only 3 spring games. Granted, it was only spring- but . . . .DAMN!

With the Tide’s front 7 and a practically lock down secondary- he’ll be, quite possibly, the most badass defensive player in the SEC- with a fair amount of nationwide media attention, and yes- I realize what’s his name? uh- . . . ? . . .(wait- “Franken-” yeah, I got it) and yes- I realize Eric Berry ain’t so bad himself.

I think McClain is better- no matter that they play 2 different positions. Let’s see how much action goes EB’s way this year. With that, I mean to say, there’ll be some coaches and teams throwing way away from him as well as devising schemes to block him out of certain plays- more so this year, than in the past.

With RollMac, unless you make him chase someone coming out of the backfield to make him cover them AND he bites on a play that’s not coming to him going backwards- it will be near impossible for him to never be away from the ball in play. He is practically the best player on the field who’s our leader on defense in more ways than just calling the D-play. . . .but in production and morale. His stats will be a lot better this year, and last year they were pretty damn good.

I see this years defense to be scary good with depth, if they can stay at or even improve in their run defense and keep injuries down- they’ll be the side of the team that wins games for us this year. The boys on this team have to have a taste in their mouths to keep this thing going. The week-in-week-out improvement and diligence to stay true to what Coach Saban is telling them. Allowing it to sink in positively, yet having no let up in correcting what needs correcting and having each other’s backs like they all did last year. Every one of ‘em had the pleasurable taste of winning while being badass, and making it back to the SEC title game should be first and foremost on their minds- hell, they almost got on top of Florida last year, there ain’t enough fuzzy-logic reasons why they shouldn’t expect to not only be there again or even better! Much less expect to improve upon the results and making it into the NC game.

Anyway, I don’t have any Trix at home. What was I thinking? I don’t have hardly any thing to eat here at my pad. This is most unfortunate. . . . . . .I will either go out shopping for groceries or I’m gonna find some grub somewhere- maybe a bigass beer and some Pho (Vietnamese soup kitchen, kinda like Japanese Ramen Houses, but for . . .anybody! It’s terminally euphoric. Especially when you’ve got gobs of basil at your disposal)

btw: i can’t wait to watch what’s his grill? you know, Flavor Flave’s & Li’l Kim’s love child with the Turrett’s Syndrome, nah. . . .i mean who spoke with a “meth-tick” all about him? ‘member? “What cha got? Who ya got?” clown who be huggin’ Tyrod’s nuts pimpin’ V-Tech. yeah, . . . . .that guy! wonder what his video’s goin’ to be like?

some of the hokies agree with this assessment.
