"I'M NOT REALLY A DISCIPLINED RUNNING BACK"

So he’s not an ambi-cutter, then.

Ryan Williams only runs one way, with a bolt of lightening up his ass. Learn to like it Billy Hite.

Just keepin’ it real. Vernon Franklin approves.

It is just good to have some VT talk at EDSBS. There will not be any come October. While technically he only cuts to the right, he can go left with use of a spin move, he just will be running backwards for a brief moment.

At least post the actual questions and answers. Don’t just mash up the quotes to make it look like more than it is:

ON THE LOSS OF EVANS: "Opening against a team like Alabama, it really would’ve helped having Darren in there so we all could get into a rhythm. With the guys we have that don’t have any experience, it’s going to be kind of tough. But we’re just going to have to go for it. We can’t dwell on it. It is what it is now. We have to work for it and work around it."

ON PLAYING BIG IN EVERY SCRIMMAGE HE’S HAD AT TECH: "I just make plays. That’s what I want to do. Whenever I’m in between those white lines, I’m … just trying to make plays. On the punt return, I did well today. As far as the running back, there’s some things that I can do a lot better. Once I start getting my football feet back up under me, start getting this whole fast-paced, contact thing, getting it timed right like I did during the spring."

ON WHAT HE COULD DO BETTER: "Make my cuts better. There was a couple times that I could’ve made a cut, but I didn’t take it just because it hasn’t slowed down to me again. Today was the first time we went full-tilt, full-contact."

ON PUNT RETURNING: "Love it. I love being in the open field. It’s like a big playground. I can just run around everywhere. And I have blockers out there, so it’s not just me. I love making people miss. Punt return is the best thing. You want to be in all the field, make all the moves you can."

ON WHAT HE SEES ON PUNT RETURNS: "Well, right now, we’re only in skull caps to show the difference between teams. So to be honest with you, it kind of feels like all 20 people are running down. I don’t really know which person is on my team. So I just run away from anything. Even if somebody’s blocking for me … I might make a mistake and juke him."

ON HIM SAYING, THEN, THAT PUNT RETURNS WILL BE EASIER WHEN HE’S FACING AN ACTUAL OPPONENT: "I honestly think it will when we’re facing other people. I’ll be able to separate which team is which."

ON HIS RUN-FOR-HIS-LIFE STYLE: "That’s been my life, man. Since I was 6 years old, I’ve never had a team that blocked thoroughly, except my ninth grade year in high school. So my whole football career, I’m just running, scat-back, every which way. I’m really not a disciplined running back. I run my way. I just run the way I run. I’ve had coaches try to teach me to just do this and do that. I just can’t do it."

ON HOW THAT SITS WITH COACH HITE: "At first, it didn’t sit well with Coach Hite at all. He’s constantly, ‘Hammer the hole. Hammer, hammer, hammer.’ He wants to see contact. I didn’t listen to him that much. That’s my thing: I try not to make the contact. I try to make people miss. But I think after a while, after he saw me making plays, he saw that I’m pretty good at what I do. He kind of left me alone. He doesn’t say anything anymore. I’m naturally a hard runner. It’s not like I can’t run between the tackles. I just choose not to."

ON THE BATTLE FOR CARRIES: "My job is to really not worry about what (Hite) is thinking or what anybody else is doing, but just to focus on myself and get better every day. I just do my thing."

ON HOW MUCH MORE REAL THE POTENTIAL PLAYING TIME BECAME WITH EVANS’ INJURY: "Very real. I can’t describe it. It was probably the biggest eye-opener I’ve had in football, having our star running back, our horse go down, out for the season, and it’s left up to three of us that don’t have any experience at all. It’s a tough situation."

ON HOW EVERYONE TOOK THE NEWS: "The team kind of took it as we just have to move forward. Darren will always be with us. I’m pretty sure he’s going to work his tail off. He’s a hard worker. But as of right now, we’re just trying to get everybody else to step up to the plate."

ON WHETHER IT TURNS UP HIS INTENSITY: "Nah. It doesn’t turn it up or lower it. I just go out there and try my best every day. Whether I’m at 6 or 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1, I’m going to do what I do every day

I am metaphysically certain this is not the running back “philosophy” Frank Beamer prefers just over two weeks from facing Alabama.

I am just as certain that Rolando McClain is well pleased.

Dont’a Hightower just pleasured himself to this interview.

Speaking of VT, Michael Vick signed on with the Philly Eagles. Since he won’t play QB , they have moved him to punter, since he has perfected the “Pooch Kick”/#drumrollcymbalcrash

I’ll be here all week. Hey, if Vick messes up, will the announcer say he is in the dog house?? Nope, cause he would kill em all if they send him there, allegedly….
