Another injury, at another thin position.
Torrian Gray tells Frank Beamer's website that Detrick Bonner hasn't practiced all week because of injury. Not sure if he'll play vs. Pitt.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) September 13, 2012
Gray told the site that Michael Cole is at rover and Kyshoen Jarrett moved to safety. If Bonner can't go, that'll be the lineup. #Hokies— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) September 13, 2012
If Kyshoen Jarrett or Michael Cole were to get injured, freshman free safety Desmond Frye could see the field. Boye Aromire leaving the program stings even more now. Cole struggled during preseason practice, as did most of the young second- and third-team secondary. If Bonner's injury is serious, this isn't good news moving forward.

Opposite of Last Year
Last season we had all of the LBs injured and had DBs playing whip. Now we need LBs playing DB? Eh.... not ideal.
Uh-oh...
commence pants-shitting nervousness.
wtf
What the hell? How come we don't hear about these in-game? He seemed fine to me... Again, what the hell?
Healthy dose of zone blitz, perhaps? Assuming we trust JGW in pass coverage.
JGW in pass protection makes me feel:
I think this is a big game for the defensive line, we need to pressure with four, that's what this group is capable of.
That...is...epic. And was
That...is...epic.
And was also true even before Bonner came up gimpy.
RVD4ROVER
RVD
Isn't he listed on one of the early two-deep rosters at rover? If we rolled him to rover, then 3/4 DBs would play their normal spots instead of two players at new positions. And put the Hyphen at backer for Bruce and let Tweedy play whip, since he's better in coverage than Hyphen is.
i second that
#RVD4ROVER
why the hell aren't they at least getting him reps there since he started out there?? he can be the "whip of the future" part-time this year, preferably against clemson
Have been wondering this all season
What happened to get the best player on the field. I have wanted to see RVD at rover from the start of the season. Why have him at a position we are extremely deep at when he could be nasty for us at a weakness? Plus just getting him on the field for playing experience regardless of position will prepare him to become the "whip of the future"
Listed as probable on the injury report.
Bonner tweeted
He tweeted last night:
@Dyoung_la8: Thank god.... Looks like ima b playin
My guess is that he would start..but be there if needed.
