I was going to recommend the Weiner Circle in Herndon but see that it is now closed. Was a good place to get a dog for lunch.
Edit: Crap I guess I'm drinking twice.
I'm Jacob and I work at ECU. Prayers up.
It's okay, no one is good with cakes because they always miss the part where they should have made pie instead.
Rocky Top, you'll always be, home sweet home to me, Good ole Rocky Top, Rocky Top, Tennessee.
I can't get that song out of my head since Battle at Bristol. My head's not exploding, but I can't get that song out. I know how my dog feels when she pulls both paws over her head to get at some itch she can't find.
On 3rd and 8, a QB run or quick throw for 4 yards is A-OK when you put them on the ground.
Damn I wish it worked like that on my XBox but nooooooo my defenders either give up a 20+ yard pass or a scramble for a 1st down. Cons of playing as Memphis in Fuente's first year
From a timing perspective, I think the route had to be materialize pretty quickly because ECU was pressuring so hard on the option.
Phillips route was a bit problematic because it was taking guys to the football. But, for the initial deception, it had to run that way in order to sell the speed option crackback. I still dig it.
I'm April and I mostly lurk on here. I live at Claytor Lake. I'm a lifelong Hokie
fan but not Alumni. My other teams are the Nationals and Redskins. I also enjoy
NASCAR but since my fav driver Dale Jr is out I'm not very interested at the
moment. I'm a damn good cook. My specialty is baking. My Cheesecakes and pies
are to die for. However, I am not good with cakes.
You count on that back to win sometimes. It doesn't always happen. Optioning off those inside zones could help, but so far most of the IZR action has been handoffs or pulling the ball and throwing it.
Spectacular, and that was why I expected him to win the starters job. Everything involved with the run game lends itself to the mechanics of the passing game, and he does an exceptional job.
For me, there are two areas where I want Evans to improve- accuracy and quick decision making in the drop back passing game, especially on 3rd and longs. I don't know if Joe E. could do some analysis, but I would imagine that Evans completions over 10 yards have been mostly on 1st and 2nd down (especially if you take away fades.) Second, I want to see how well he executes true inside zone reads. We haven't seen many where he reads the backside DE. If he shows that he can punk that DE, it opens up the inside zone even more.
No, I think he uses false reads. For example, he will look off a safety to one side before coming back the other way. But, I think he is only making one read and those head movements are just to draw off safeties.
Watch passing play replays closely. It is shocking to see how everyone in the pass pattern is not looking for the ball, except the guy Evans ends up throwing to. I am sure that there are some plays where Evans may have a check down or a second option. But, on most plays (as it was in Memphis) it is one read and then a scramble drill.

# | After Near Miss Against ECU, Isaiah Ford Hoping For Another Chance to Show Off His Passing Skills I wonder if Evans has any paddywack problems this year, he's certainly been giving the dogs a bone
Wait, hold the door for me...
The Miami game is going to be tough for me. I am leaving Richmond at 2pm and will get there as fast as I can. Most of our group is out of town that Thursday but a few will be there, and then of course me, much, much later than I would like.
That's what she said.
Wait, hold the door for me...
French,
In your opinion, how good has Evans been with his execution of fakes and selling play action? I have been watching that pretty closely, and it seems to me that he is really committed to selling his part of the play - much more so than some previous VT QBs.
One of my favorite moments in football history was when Heath Miller retired leaving 0 Wahoos in the NFL with experience beating VT.
French,
Are you going to have any comments on the long pass plays?
This guy also said my beans were the best thing he has ever put in his mouth. Not that there is anything wrong with that...
Ouch. Hate that for ya.
Stanford at Washington -3.5
North Carolina at Florida State -11.5

Wisconsin at Michigan -10.5

My name is Bryson and I just moved to Charlotte, NC. Grew up in Martinsville, VA, graduated from Roanoke College in May '16. College football, NFL, NBA, and International soccer are the greatest things known to mankind. I hate Brad Keslowski, Notre Dame, Aqui Talib, and LOLUVA. I love asking LOLUVA fans is it basketball season yet because we are becoming dangerous as well. Lou Holtz sucks.
Known them both for awhile, hung out with them, hampton, etc. a lot in high school.
Cody here. I live in Potomac Falls, VA, work in Herndon at a software company as a pricing analyst. I grew up in Augusta County, VA. Graduated VT in 2007 (Pamplin in the HOUSE) and stayed in Blacksburg for 5 years after graduation, where my wife and I met as she attended grad school. I've been a lifelong Hokie – dad was Class of 76, and my first game was in 1990 vs. NC State. I love craft beer, Folk/Americana/Bluegrass music (especially live), red wine, Carolina bbq, hiking, camping, and fishing. I dislike mean people, Maryland (The state, drivers, and the school), and believe that Danny Coale caught that pass.
