They were trying to give him some extra recovery time but how can you not be excited for his first NFL snaps?

If he just played for somebody else! All joking aside, I always root for my Hokies, regardless of where they play after VT, so I'll be looking out for how he did. And yes, I am excited for him and wish him All Pro status.

Unfortunately this is at the potential career death knell of another great Hokie in Deangelo Hall as well as Bashaud Breeland. Hall tore his ACL and is headed for surgery, which means Burton, who was covering as a CB has to fall back to Safety and Breeland has a high ankle sprain, so Fuller better be ready to go because he is going to have to play a ton going forward since there is no timeline on Breeland's return.

I'm guessing the high ankle sprain actually happened in week 1 from Antonio Brown beating him like a rented mule and he just played through it until Sunday.

He had great coverage on both of the TDs, so I wouldn't really call it being beat like a rented mule. First TD went right through his hands and 2nd was just a throw only a handful of QBs in the NFL can make.

Best of luck to kendall glad to see him getting some PT and hopefully he is at 100% because the skins need him to be.

That was more TIC. I disagree on the 2nd, he got beat off the line and wasn't great on it. Either way, it was a joke mostly based off of listening to DC sports talk radio hotheads.

Getting beat off the line is part of the game as a corner. he recovered and was in the WRs hip pocket. I can't think of a corner in the league that isn't getting beat with that kind of throw.

I don't think he recovered as much as you think. AB has plenty of separation. I agree that the throw was perfect as well, but he still got beat

God bless on D-Hall. That's a tough deal.

Leonard. Duh.

Great seeing him get in the game. Looked confident during preseason so will
be interesting.

I was wondering why he hadn't been playing in the last few games while our corners not named Norman were getting abused. Good to hear it was just a precaution and not a reflection of his play.
