Tavante Beckett, LB out of 757. Undersized kid but a lot of heart, hard hitter. His HS highlights reminded me of Cody Grimm but Beckett is playing Mike instead of OLB.
Was a recruiting battle between Terps and VT but it shouldn't have been, I feel like if VT would've offered him earlier would've helped in-state recruiting.
He left out Jackson!

Usually, when the ACC refs tighten up on things, it gets tightened up on us, but not the team we're playing. Unfortunately. Cue Ron Cherry giving us the business.

# | More Eyes on the Football: A Refresher on Virginia Tech's Zone Coverage Does "ball control"
mean minimizing turnovers or extending drives?
That sounds like a losing strategy. I would rather the coaches just spend the time working on D-line contain and discipline instead.
Apparently TuneIn has seen some improvements over the last few years. I redownloadwd it for TTL and had a great listening experience, even pausing and rewinding live broadcast.
4* DE Joshua Paschal Is hoping to visit Tech soon. Might be able to put some work in. Not much going on for the '17 class but, the '18 class is looking to being better than expected. We have a great start with a lot of good players from what I have read
Wait until Week 3.
DT QB's
#TimSettleForQB
I totally understand the expected increase in offensive productivity, but is there a specific reason you expect ball control to improve from last year? The new scheme/new QB situation leads me to believe that we may actually see a slight dip in that category.
Who is Beckett?
I hope to get there thursday night, all depends on what the bossman says.
With so many DT QB's these days, I'd almost rather concede a side to the QB rather than letting him break free up the middle. Geometry says that it takes about 40% more steps/time to gain ground at a 45 degree angle than straight ahead. Plug the middle with the rush, bring a DB or LB from one side, and encourage the QB to roll toward the strength of the zone or away from the strength of the formation.
Thank you!!!
my entire outlook on life just changed
I just miss that number next to our name
Since Billdozer did the work, here is a bonus robber clip:
The game is vs Miami in 2010. Stephen Morris had been effective in reading the Hokie corners and throwing quick curl and slant routes when the corners showed soft coverage. Foster then baited Morris into a "fat lady" interception.
Hosley backs off into man coverage and Morris checks him. Morris is so focused on Hosley that he doesn't read the rover backing off and angling deep. This means Hosley has deep inside leverage help, so he can plant his heels and jump any inside-breaking routes knowing that he has deep help. Hosley reads the wide receiver's hips. When those hips turn inside, Hosley jumps in front of the route. Simple.

# | More Eyes on the Football: A Refresher on Virginia Tech's Zone Coverage They could have beat Clemson by two scores if he could have hit the broad side of a damn barn in that ACCCG. I think he started 5/23 or something and it wasn't all because of pressure.
and I just saw that you said that over on reddit. I'm HokiesforTSwift btw over there.

# | More Eyes on the Football: A Refresher on Virginia Tech's Zone Coverage Despite all this, Williams makes the wrong read and throws the out under the sticks.
...and Clark probably doesn't recover if Williams so much as looks at one of the outside verticals before throwing inside.
This confirms my observations of M. Williams as a QB. I was never as impressed as a lot of the TV folks were.
Lol, I just said the same thing over on Reddit. Great minds
Wow this makes me feel for the kid. He must really love it at VT to stay after losing his scholarship. I hope Fuente has set out a road map for the kid to earn it back, or is there anything the boosters are allowed to do for him?
Seems pointless after the game...I feel like much fewer people would be interested at that time even once we've won.
