# | Quick Film Analysis from HokiesFB Snapchat During 2016 Spring Practice Week One Now are you absolutely sure about this?
Back in my day there was John Rivers, a forward for the basketball team, he played football also, mostly in goal line situations to toss him a jump ball.. not sure if that is who you are thinking of

French it's always hard to tell but was tackling really that bad who were the guys going only 75%? Because tackling looked like hot garbage.
It's somewhat humorous and cool for the fans to see McClease returning punts, but one has to assume that's Settle's job to lose.
When Miami was trying to reload in the late 90s, they would "redshirt" football players by stashing them on a track scholarship for a year. Can't do it any more.
I follow Eric Kumah on snapchat and he uploaded a video of Devin dancing in the locker room after practice. He looks so small on the basketball court but he actually has some height. I think it would be a lot of fun to see him do well and contribute somehow to this team.
I'll accept some angst and sadness now for the element of surprise in September.
Yeah you are right! If I'd looked at it, I'd saw the 3/29 date. Thanks for clearing that up as I was wondering how they could see it. Conspiracy theory! LOL
But Hokies please keep voting away as it could be REAL close. Right before they blanked the chart from our view we were just barely behind. So who knows if we're even winning. Keep voting HokieNation!
I don't like the erect posture
I can't imagine trying to block someone with an erect posture.
Coaches are really pushing emotion this year. From the snaps, I've seen Foster screaming at his guys about it, I've seen Fuente praising the 1's for cheering on the 2's when someone makes a big play, and now Vance talking about it. I've never seen this stressed so much by our coaches before.
McClease was also fielding some punts.
So- some quick observations. Some base offensive runs (inside zones with H-back leads) were being featured along with some more QB counters, inverted veer, speed option, and some counter action.
Yosh Nijman had a massive win- terrific extension in a pass protection drill against Houshun Gaines. Nijman popped him with great extension and almost knocked Gaines down with his pop. His competition at left tackle, big Jonathan McLaughlin, won a tough battle with Ken Ekanem. Ekanem popped a leverage move (hand slap) and gained an advantage but big Jon recovered for a win. McLaughlin later got a knockdown block on Trevon Hill after Hill tried an inside move. DeAndre Plantin got a win at right tackle against Dee Fullwood.
Offense looking good against the defense was an ongoing theme. Ricky Walker beat Billy Ray Mitchell and touched Lawson (who looked like he was working with the twos.) Walker was grouped with Gaines and Fullwood.
When the one offense was out there, it looked like they were moving the ball well. Coleman Fox seemed to be getting some work with the top offensive group and he broke a touchdown against the number one defense on what appeared to be a pin and pull outside zone or power sweep. It didn't impact the play, but it looked like Carson Lydon was in at mike with the ones when Fox scored. McClease had a nasty run with the two OL where he got to the second level and when he cut to the sideline, a receiver (I think) de-cleated a secondary guy.
This is the first scrimmage of the spring, but I bet Bud Foster, Galen Scott, and Brian Mitchell talk a bunch about tackling. It seemed like the alley play was a bit sloppy.
The question that seems to be on everyone's mind is quarterback. I didn't see Dwayne Lawson get a repetition with the top group (and the playcalling when he is in sure seems to be run-oriented with him as the runner.) Motley had several snaps with the top group. Evans I believe got one rep on tape with the ones. That may not mean much because Josh Jackson also got a rep with the ones and Jack Click got reps with the ones earlier in the week.
That tweet was a two day old screen shot (3/29). They don't have the results either, just drumming up their fan support.
ZIMA SUCKS

# | Quick Film Analysis from HokiesFB Snapchat During 2016 Spring Practice Week One has a very different set of skills
but, are they as good as Laim Neeson's skills?
Kansas already had a team full of guys that don't look like football is their best sport.
that seems like an exploitable loophole. Why wouldn't Kansas or Kentucky double their basketball scholarships by having 13 basketball players on the football team?
sadness. living over 2K miles away means no ability to catch a glimpse of the team. really enjoyed the feed in the past.
Just got my cooling off period message. I will be back on to put in more shortly
EDIT second cooling off period. Lets keep going hokies
EDIT #2: someone came up with the idea of voting for baton rouge so we won't have to face oxford. sounds like a good idea while I can't vote for the good guys
Cool! But I really don't know how they are getting that to display when even their message came across that the results were secret until announced tomorrow for the surprise. Kind if makes me think they are changing the rules as they play. LOL My Grandson does that to me when we play a game so HE can WIN! He's a competitive little dude! Not sure where he gets that either because I usually let him win once in awhile.
Well
Hit my cooldown period. Hopefully everybody here is doing the same!
Edit: Hit my second cooling period. It took about an hour and a half to get back to voting for me at least.

It looked like hot garbage. Walker wasn't going 75% when he got his sack. Pads were popping, so they needed to get those backs on the ground.
