Do we think he's staying at nickel or being coached up for safety?

If he can move, at that size, he should be a safety. If he can't move, then nickel is out, and he's not quite what I'd want to see for linebacker weight.

Plan is safety and big nickel

Noice.

I'd sit my bare ass on the Sudbury big nickel if it meant a VT natty.

I sat my bare ass on the face of the statue at the far end of uvas lawn back in the day. pretty sure that it's not part of the official streaking traditions, but it seemed like it was right at the time.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

That looks like the largest green repair tool I've ever seen.

Big Nickel and the Stars

Awesome band name, Coach Quinn's room, or both??

Are all of these are different positions for the strong side defender?

  • Nickel
  • Big Nickel
  • Star
  • Sam

Each one of those, save Big Nickel, have slightly different roles.

Nickel: 5th DB on the field primarily in pass coverage, usually vs slot; does not have to be strong side
Star: hybrid safety/olb that operates close to the line of scrimmage and can play against the run as well as against the slot WR usually, but not exclusively strong side
Sam: exclusively strong side outside linebacker

Never Forget #1 Overall Seed UVA 54, #64 UMBC 74

Star is just Sam renamed

Why did Sam get renamed?

And did you officially rename Nickel to Big Nickel?

And, if Big Nickel is a Star/Nickel hybrid when Spencer plays it, is there any chance Pry/Marve/Quinn renames the position to Stickel?

Stackel and Starkel are also good alternatives.

No, It's Mike.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

But pronounced Kevin

That's the reference I was going for.

Finkel IS Einhorn. Oh,sorry, you said Stickle.

I've been around less lately, but good to see you again LA!

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

I pop in every 6 months or so

It's a long drive from California.

huh, I always thought he was French, but that makes more sense

But he'd be LeHokie if he was French

you're assuming Hokie is masculine and so does Google translate

gotta fix that spreadsheet

Only 1000%, guess that means he's going to UNCheat.

We put the K in Kwality

Better than 800%

Did he play much for da u?

every game this past year as a true freshman on special teams

So we traded a one-tool starter for a minor league prospect and pocketed the cash. Probably with no player to be named later in the deal.

Go Hokies!!

I wouldn't exactly call it a trade since Canteen left beforehand for more playing time that he wasn't going to get here. It was filling a vacancy with the best available body - hopefully it works out.

Should have been clearer in this was a VT-the 'U' is never back trade; the one tool starter was Lynn Kidd.

Go Hokies!!

Ah, got it.

I hope Kidd's lone ability is to successfully play 1 against 5 since the rest of his new team bolted.

He went for the bag of $$$. Guessing anything else promised has been reneged as the players he was expecting to play with are all gone. If that mattered to him at all. Guessing the $$$ was all that mattered.

Go Hokies!!
