Just a guy that LOVES football, and extolling that knowledge on others. Positive attitude and a great approach. Loved watching him in a VT helmet, and glad he's got the VT floppy now.

Anyone wanting to understand the leverage technique, listen to this closely. By teaching the hand placement when pressing (and I am still working on this piece), the DBs can play leverage without giving away their technique pre-snap. This is huge, because it can allow the D to disguise their leverage. That is critical to baiting a QB into throwing into a leverage or hide a robber.

Of all the mic'd ups, I think that's the ONLY throw Brewer has on tape. I'm hoping they are "hiding" the good stuff and put that pick out there just for bait of some sort. I.e., I hope its the outlier thus far.

This. Sometimes good passes are picked off by great defenses. It would be a floated pass or trying to thread the needle into double coverage that would concern me. I'll take that throw by Brewer all day. There are probably a handful of DBs who could make the play Riley made there.

Anyone else see our next DC in this film? I don't know jack about football X's and O's, but his DB results speak for themselves. I hope we keep him for a long, long time...

Brandon Facyson looks very fluid and smooth. As a freshman, he looked awkward as hell, but his closing speed made the difference. If you add technique to that closing speed, oh my. That said, Bonner played as a deep third a bunch Facyson's freshman year as a safety blanket. They will want Chuck Clark to be more active than Bonner had to be against that early schedule where everybody was a spread team back in 2013. That may require Facyson to play a little more conservatively if he doesn't have deep help.

Torrian, never leave pls
If he ever left (obviously with a promotion somewhere) what "former" Virginia Tech CB would you want to take his place?
Not a CB, but I think the no-brainer answer is Vincent Fuller.
Or Kam, after a few more outstanding years in the NFL, which coincide with at least a few more years for TG14 in Blacksburg.
TRIAN PLS
DC please

Best of the "mic'd" series so far.

yes I understand all of this
I don't but somehow it still makes me happy
Me too! Who wouldn't want to play for this guy?
(Don't like the throw from Brewer...hope it was "placed" in there on purpose.)
to practice throwing pics? Doubt Lefty spends too much time on that.

per pete carroll that is a once in a lifetime play.
Yeah, there was nothing wrong with that throw, it was an outstanding play by Riley.

Here are all the other one's if you've missed them.
lol @ the Stiney's calves jokes
Shane looks just like his Dad, has his inflection too.
Lol @Stiney - "Who made the Gatorade today?"

Assuming a smooth transition to the next head coach and a promotion from within for next DC, I'm so conflicted on if it will be Wiles or Gray.

Hey French,
What was Coach Gray yelling about on CJ TD catch? Obviously something went wrong.
Also, Mook Reynolds is going to be a very good player, but Coach Gray was fair in warning him that talking smack to Cody Grimm may not be a good idea.
Its never a good idea
Mook Reynolds definitely looks like a future warden on D Block.
Had to do this.
When he got on Mook at the end, I peed a little with excitement
Future DC right there....
