Facyson to WR?? | The Key Play

unless he's going to be playing both sides of the ball that is

Seems like they're saying he'll play both sides.

 

[Hokie200proof]

I'd like to see it... He might have better hands and better hips/twist/jump than some of our WR corps.

as long as they don't take him out of the D, i'm fine with it

 

[wildturkey]

I don't care if he plays some WR. What I don't like is Exum is taking his spot at corner. Facyson is killing it right now. Let him do his thing. Work Exum in elsewhere in the secondary.

No better place for Exum than where he's at. I don't think he would be any better than Fuller, Jarrett, or Bonner at their spots. I think Exum and Facyson will be splitting reps pretty evenly. Facyson is as good of a freshman CB as you are going to find, but he still isn't perfect yet. I like the WR move as long as it isn't a ridiculous amount of snaps there for relatively little output. It is good for a CB to get better affiliated with the spot he will be wrecking havoc on for the next two years.

I agree with the coaches' strategy of starting off at 50/50 and working Exum back in at quarterback. While Facyson will be better, it is hard to argue that he is better than a player that projects to be a starter in the NFL based on his current draft stock. We may lose some ball skills with Exum, but he has the physical tools to match up with any WR, and our line is good enough that we aren't totally dependent on turnovers. We are pretty good at making them go 3 and out too.

Exum will not dress tomorrow, his own choice, wants to give the knee more time

hope when his knee is 100%, his mind is too....coming off an injury like that, i'm sure it's going to mess with him to a degree

So I guess the daycare is not open after all. :rollseyes:

I blame the shutdown!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Zack McCray's decision to graduate in December and move on from football. Gotta respect his decision to put family first, since he is expected a child sometime soon.

 

[hokiegrad]

where'd you see that? I suspected that would happen, but haven't seen anything official come out.

 

[vtfan15]

It's on his twitter that he will graduate in December, is expecting a child, and is looking for a full time job. But I originally saw the news in a free post on the VT 247 page.

 

[Sleepy T]

Hadn't heard that either. If that is the case, then congratulations to him on his degree and his child to be. It is unfortunate he hasn't exactly worked out with the team, but have never heard about him complaining about his lack of PT or role with the team.

Andy Bitter just posted that Deon Clarke has been suspended indefinitely. Ugh. I am trying to find out what's up.

[Forty_Sixand2]

Not really not yet.

 

[NickVT10]

Don't forget to pencil in Hopkins as back up FB.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Cody Journell dismissed from team.

I know everyone is just shocked.

Lol, I missed this. Awesome though! A certain big DT who we are recruiting loves doing this as all so this may have been a little bit of a wink to him as well.
