# | Evans seems to be getting more First Team Reps: Notes from the 4/5/16 Practice So a zone-read option, except the backside OT doesn't go to the LB when he releases the DE - in fact he comes around kind of like a power formation as a pulling lineman?
So what happens to the LB in question that the OT would nominally be blocking? Does the blocking scheme change and a guard take him instead? Essentially counter / down-blocking with a zone-option read?

# | Evans seems to be getting more First Team Reps: Notes from the 4/5/16 Practice Unlike his time at Memphis or unlike what we are used to for VT? Everything seems like it's been pretty tightly kept under wraps for the last few years for us anyways.

# | Evans seems to be getting more First Team Reps: Notes from the 4/5/16 Practice I don't think fans were upset with the screens as much as they were the design of Lefty's screens (not even gonna go there with Stiney). When called at the right time and executed correctly, a quick screen can be lethal. Lefty's screens were usually very slow developing, the perimeter blocking was more often than not bad, and for some reason he liked to utilize Bucky on the screens, who isn't anyone's first choice for that play. He could usually fall forward and pick up a few yards because of his size, but a smaller, shiftier player could easily break a long run after the catch there.

# | Sleeker Settle Making Noise on a Deep Defensive Line, Tremaine Edmunds Set for Breakout Year I think he meant more that both Mitchell and Scott have coordinator experience so they can help Bud with doing things. Basically Bud has 2 more sets of eyes on the scheme to help with figuring out what tweaks to make.

# | Experience Standing Out to Fuente, Devin Wilson Trying His Hand at Wide Receiver TBF we're still pretty base / vanilla at the moment too, so I wouldn't read too much into it.

# | Sleeker Settle Making Noise on a Deep Defensive Line, Tremaine Edmunds Set for Breakout Year considering we were able to RS walker and settle last year i'd say the answer was yes...

# | Evans seems to be getting more First Team Reps: Notes from the 4/5/16 Practice Sounds like we need more Josh Morgan's. That man blocked his tail off.

# | Experience Standing Out to Fuente, Devin Wilson Trying His Hand at Wide Receiver Haha, honestly, I have no idea. Googled both, found nothing, shook my head and figured it must be an Oklahoma (or AGR) thing.

# | Sleeker Settle Making Noise on a Deep Defensive Line, Tremaine Edmunds Set for Breakout Year Thanks. I have a feeling we will need to create our depth charts this year, Fuente seems to like to keep his competitions open and his info close to the vest.

# | Evans seems to be getting more First Team Reps: Notes from the 4/5/16 Practice Sure...we all know you don't know how to read. Not sure why I am even posting this.
Not much of a story there. Just a headline and a punchline.

# | Sleeker Settle Making Noise on a Deep Defensive Line, Tremaine Edmunds Set for Breakout Year Linebacker is going to be my main concern going into the fall. I do not like hearing Andrew has been missing practices due to a calf injury. He needs every rep.

# | Sleeker Settle Making Noise on a Deep Defensive Line, Tremaine Edmunds Set for Breakout Year I wouldn't be so sure about that. I get the concern, but Mike is such a cerebral position for us, it's not surprising that Moto looked hesitant. We haven't had an early starter at that position in a very long time. He's shown he has the physical capabilities, once it clicks he could be very good.
No, it's a LOT harsh.
Vick never lived up to his promise, and has always been plagued with petty criminal offenses and bad decisions. But this happened:
"The highlight of Vick's season came during a 31–7 upset win over #2 Miami. Despite completing only one pass, Vick's exceptional running ability and the outstanding play of Tech's defense contributed to one of the biggest wins in Tech's history."
and THIS happened:
"Beamer initially announced that Vick would enter the 2005 season as the team's third-string quarterback, but he quickly won the starting role after impressive spring practices and scrimmages. 2005 was Vick's most successful season, which saw the Hokies contending for a national championship and culminating in an 11–2 record, an ACC Coastal Division title, an appearance in the inaugural ACC Championship Game, and a win in the 2006 Gator Bowl."
So even if we abhor some of his behavior, I think he warrants a bit better treatment than the comment above. He did contribute something to Virginia Tech sports. One of those games in that unbroken streak of bowl games belongs to Marcus Vick and his team.
SET THE TONE!

# | Evans seems to be getting more First Team Reps: Notes from the 4/5/16 Practice I actually understood all of this. I feel smart, but it's only because I've been reading your stuff for 2 years now.
Outlaw....prevailing opinion is that he will never play, similar situation to Chaney. So I am anticipating his scholly will be back on the table

# | Sleeker Settle Making Noise on a Deep Defensive Line, Tremaine Edmunds Set for Breakout Year Galen's been in our defense, he's been in an odd defense. Same thing with Brian. They've coordinated both even and odd fronts which we're gonna get into a little bit of odd stuff, particularly on third down. So their experience is gonna be helpful."
Curious - how much does that really matter? I understand an odd - even front is the distinction regarding how you line up on the LOS against the OL, specifically in the gaps. But does it REALLY matter that much at the DB level what they line up at the LOS?
Did you somehow take personal offense to my question?
Part II?!?!
