A note on Zion Nelson

If Samson is the starting LT, then, for the purposes of this thread, that means he has supplanted Zion in the line-up. So do you expect that Zion by the end of the year will be:
1. Injured
2. At another position
3. Healthy but on the bench

3 and to be clear I never thought all that highly of him. That all said having him healthy on the squad is a good thing cause even thought I dont think that highly of him, he is still a solid serviceable LT.

IF he is full health, IF he is back to form, and IF he has a draft pick worthy money year I would add a W to my w/l prediction. But I am not running to the sports book on a bunch of IFs so we will see. Hoping for a great season for the young man, it will take a ton of pressure off van dyke and give our wrs time to run open if he can be what we thought he might be pre injury. Potentially huge impact.

QB is the most important position on the field. We'll go as far as TVD takes us. No other to spin it.

Great QBs do the things u listed…Tvd isn’t a great QB so he isn’t gonna do anything u listed, at this point imo it’s unfair expectations of him.

So we need those positions to hold their own weight, this ain’t basketball to where u can miss a rotation and someone can get a steal or block the shot, if u miss a block or run the wrong route the qb can get killed like saw lol or it can be a turnover. This is a team.

Also this we will go as far as tvd **** is stupid to me, what qb is running blocking and catching on the field??? Of the receivers are mid then wtf is he gonna do run routes for them? If the oline is mid or hurt wtf he gonna do pass block and throw? Yall say **** like this to set him up for slander because of delusional expectations, of course he has to play well but its not all on him we need others mfs to step up

Texas A&M is game 2. U man need to show up and give them h€ll. Let them go back to SEC and say they never hear anything that loud, like we split that whig off the broad head from ND. Thats what im on.

The start of the season could swing our program fortunes and give it a electric shock jump start into the future. So game Miami OH and Texas A&M are the most important games. We be too worried about the finish product. This is the ingredient we can add.

If we build a physical team like Cristobal is trying to do. There should be no worse place to play than down here. Hot, humid and man trying to tear your head off.

Split that wig is one of my favorite terms. Always gives me a LoL
 
Wait so Zion played 3 full seasons, and then has off-season knee surgery, then tries to come back and play, but can't get quite right so he misses rest of season, and he is Bigfoot?! I don't understand the joke I guess lol

No not really. 1st round buzz started under Manny. You could say that Manny last second flipped a App st commit with the body of an 8th grader and turned him into a first rounder that nobody wanted. Fans calling for him to get off the field with as a freshman with Manny jumping to his defense saying "there's no one else to put at LT. We believe he's going to be a great one."

Really a story of a coach seeing the potential able to uplift through failure because he knew the kid would be great.

On paper and position by position across the OL, we could have the best OL in ACC.

OL's need to play together as a unit, and gel. If they can do that then this OL can be really really good.

Zion
Rivers
Lee
Cohen
Mauigoa

Okanlola
Kinsler
Denis
Cooper
McCoy
