Bruce Taylor made the mistake of challenging Andrew Miller to a wrestling match in locker room. Within seconds, Bruce whined "Chill! Chill!"

Andrew is/was a beast on the mats. Very impressive to watch him through his HS career.

On another note, Collin Carroll is hilarious!

tyrel wilson is awfully light/small for a defensive end. 6-1, 214? theres no way he can survive there at that size.

also surprised to see randall dunn is not in the 2 deep at tight end.

Im guessing Perez-means and mccray get the majority of the snaps after collins and gayle.

Dunn had some nice plays in the spring and summer and i wouldnt be surprised to see him come in in some sort of situational play. <---- FWIW Dunn has never really had the body of a TE. He was basically an athlete that could have played many positions, prob would have been better suited as a LB or WR. Like i said though i still think he will get some snaps from time to time, but Drager and Martin are much more "prototypical".

Good series of tweets by Raleigh Hokie ( @RaleighHokie )


Remain intrigued by Whitley/Exum switch. EW struggled at times against better passing teams last season. Exum more athletic and faster.

Ex's speed will allow Foster to match-up FS in man coverage more often. Gives him even more options in blitz calls on both sides of field.

Defenses will tend to collapse and gang up on Wilson - lots of man coverage on outside WRs. Good opportunity for play-action vertical game.

Even if defenses collapse will they be talented enough to contain Wilson? It may take few games b4 opponent has enough talent on defense.

OL and LB play will be better - depth is solid except at center (Via status tbd).

First teams strong across board. Depth young at some spots. Hop brothers need to stay healthy - Maddy, Marshall fine getting backup snaps.

Sport Science: Jayron Hosley - ESPN Video - ESPN

Jayron Hosley on Sports Science over at Disney. He has a wingspan of a guy that's 6'5" and said his performance put him in the same class as several other first round picks as only a junior. Pretty impressive.
