In an interview I heard on the local news tonight ,Coach Brown stated that they had a couple more practices before he would make a decision on his starting QB .He also said he wouldn't say who the starter was until game time ,and that there is nothing wrong with using 2 QB's .

Sounds like his 2 qb rotation will be Brickhandler and White.

I think coach knows who will be the starter and so does everyone else, but the fact that White is making it tough on the coaching staff speaks volumes. Sounds like all the rumors are real, the kid is truth and it may be hard for the coaching staff to keep him on the bench if Brick doesn't produce.

For those of you creating nicknames and concerned about nicknames, our man KJ White already has one! Jugs Machine See the video below just after the 2:20 mark, though he said "jug" as opposed to "jugs". youtu.be/mpVIToEw0sc?feature=shared

I admit, the kid can run, but I'm not sold on his passing ability down the field. I'm surprised he's listed at number 2.

I'm not sold on your ability to evaluate quarterbacks.

I still trying to understand what Coach meant by elite speed at QB. Football gurus, what is elite speed, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, …what? va.milesplit.com/athletes/11749181-kevin-whitelet's put it this way. true freshman qb recruit (kj white) runs a 10.67 personal best 100m. by comparison, tarik cohen ran a 10.74 in the 100m. that should give you an idea of how "fast" kj white is. in my book, indeed that's "elite speed" for a qb. also, the true freshman rb (s. blizzard) ran a 10.89 in the 100m, that's very "slightly" faster than tuten. safe to say that blizzard and tuten have about the "same" amount of speed....

Thank OS! Excellent comparison regarding elite speed. KJ is a superior athlete. I cannot wait to see his speed on display.

Agreed...if you listened to the press conference today...Coach Brown said that stopping the run was an absolute priority for this game. ok, i'm gone have to listen to it again cuz to the best of my memory, i thought he stated that the "top priority" defensively was not to get beat "over the top". i believe he stated that stopping the run was important, but he did not state that it was the "top priority" akin to the broadway/washington era... Coach Brown wants a complete defensive philosophy that is able to stop the run and the pass equally. Stopping the run has never been A&T's weakness in the past but stopping the pass has . Also because a coach says that he doesn't want to get beat over the top that doesn't mean that he is not equally or just as focused on stopping the run . Defensive philosophies have evolved just like on the offensive side of the ball, the teams that can run and pass equally on offense are facing up to defensive teams that can stop the pass and run equally. That stopped and run philosophy is old the new era on defense is to be able toBe effective stopping both. The teams that evolved to that philosophy on defense are the team's most likely to be seen in the playoffs playing for a national championship.

Also because a coach says that he doesn't want to get beat over the top that doesn't mean that he is not equally or just as focused on stopping the run . D go listen to coach brown's press conference around the 4:40 mark, he himself stated "in his own words" that the philosophy of his defensive system is not to get beat over the top, " first and foremost". now, those are "his words", not mine. if ya wanna interpret what he said differently, then that's one thing. but i'm just tellin' ya what the man said outta his own mouth, check the press conference video cuz its there. granted, in all fairness to coach brown, he did state that stopping the run was important (i'm paraphrasing). but the focus is, not allowing teams to throw the ball over the top " first and foremost" according to coach brown. me personally? i really don't care what coach brown's defensive philosophy is. what i care about are "results"! i'm concerned this season about stopping the run "up the middle" because we're very "lite in da azz" at the nt position. but as long as the guys get the overall job done, i'm good...

I'm surprised he's listed at number 2. in all fairness to kj white, looking at his high school video highlights, a lot of his receivers were "wide open" (had at least 3 or 4 steps on the defender). however, even though a lot of his receivers were "wide open", he still placed the ball "dead on the money" accurately. lol, there are some qb's who can't even complete 80% of their passes during "non-contact" passing drills. so to complete 80% of your passes in real games is extremely "impressive" to me. take a look at his high school video highlights and you'll see what i mean...

Any time you have a QB that runs in the low 5's or lower is a blessing, especially if he has size like Mike Vicki. The Kid ran a 10.6 flat running on the A&T track team but the difference here is responsibilities between the to positions RB and QB . The RB responsibility is h o l e burst and the ability to get to the second or third level where he can use his lateral speed, whereas the quarterback unless it's a designated running play has to remember and think on his feet about other options before using his speed. I never compare one running back to another speed wise but I have to comment on this. The kid and a healthy Martin were true homerun hitters because of their speed, Tuten (T Train 🚆 was a consistent strong runner but did not possess the straight line speed of The Kid or Martin . Truthfully you should never compare running back or a quarterback unless you can also include the tools and players around them at that time.
