Blue & Gold Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 Is anyone as impressed and excited about RB/KR Van Edwards Jr. as I am?He's the most competent KR man I've seen in a number of years for the Zips.He's fearless, doesn't shy from contact, runs relatively powerfully and explosively north-and-south, and exhibits a lot of shiftiness and good field vision. I think he's looked good in the very few carries I've seen of him from the RB position this season - I was hoping he'd get more PT in the EMU blowout.He's well-built @ 5-9 & 185 and will probably come in next season at 190.I was worried about the RB position next season when we lose Hundley and Alexander, but now I think we're gonna be in good shape.http://www.gozips.com/sports/fball/2015-16/bios/Edwards_Van Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 I agree 100%. Prior to now we hadn't had even an average return man, punt or kick off, under Bowden. Now we have both. I like Coney a lot. Quote

I like Coney a lot.I'm loving Coney too. Dude is fearless. He catches the ball in traffic, is a little cocky, and not afraid to get lit up. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Posted October 13, 2015 Another obvious aspect about Van Edwards that I failed to mention is that he looks quite a bit faster than either Hundley or Alexander. He's got more home run potential than either of our current 2-deep. Quote
LoyalZIP Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 Edwards is the best Zips return man since Andre Jones and Bryan Williams. Quote
zipsoutsider Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 It has really been great to see both return guys make excellent choices in what to return and what not to return, too. Quote
