I hope we move to a more traditionally sized defense. I am sure bud can handle it. That is what is going to bring our team to the next level.
That dude is FAST for a big guy
He destroys that RB trying to block him at the 2 min mark. He is always hustling and trying to find the ball.
That's a pretty damn lean looking 290 if I've ever seen one. I'm 6'4" 305 and I look way bigger than homeboy. he must be packing serious muscle.
Very interested to see if Foster and Wiles can develop Hewitt into Tech's next productive, high-motor defensive lineman from Florida.
Simms was never a VT lean , he didn't want to stay close to home. He even snubbed UMD , his homestate college. Bud and Fuente did all they could to change his mind. Pine has always been a VT lean and hopefully he flipped to his dream and homestate team.
I look for Carson Lyon to take over Mike wry early in the spring.
We didn't say hello and shake her hand

Rebuilding relationships, Stiney was his main recruiter.
Left is Hopple right is Kearns, def. sure about the left, just not the right, maybe I am wrong haha
Edit: Saw this picture from a different angle and I was right about both of them.
I wonder why his mom isn't on board?
BUENO
Yup. Someone has to play Mike and I can't imagine Bud playing a true Fr there.
Looking forward to an analysis of what Coach Fu does on O.
Do you see Bud making any tweaks? More zone? VT has given up an inordinate number of big plays the last couple of years.
And front left, #55 jersey, is Hewitt
I don't buy Shegog to backer. Now, if the theory is Bear front with the true backer aligned as a stand up OLB on the LOS and Shegog aligned in a boundary linebacker position, well then you could argue that Jarrett "played backer" against Ohio State.
To me, Shegog is a free hitter. Wherever he is aligned, his role will be to have the play funneled to him to make tackles. The backer in Bud's defense is a gap fit/ force-spill position. The backer either aligns on the edge to contain (Bear) or aligns to the boundary and fits inside when the DE plays the edge/sets the edge when the DE crashes.
Pine and Simms (and Tremaine Edmunds) were guys who seem to fit Bud's vision that the backer is going to just align on the edge rather than running to the edge and fitting. Ross is more of a traditional backer in the ilk of an Adibi/Tariq Edwards type, but he still aligned on the edge in high school and has great bend to the inside. He would be very comfortable playing in the role that Clarke was in this season.
Shegog isn't either. Shegog is Torrian Gray in 1993. He can cover somewhat, but is a small guy who can find the football as a free hitter and is more comfortable around the LOS. Chuck Clark is the same kind of player.
Beckett and Carter address the mike spot. Carter wasn't highly rated because he isn't a sideline to sideline guy. That doesn't matter at the mike spot. He has the frame and plays downhill-both critical at the mike spot. The challenge is being in the right place AT THE RIGHT TIME in his fits. Beckett- size is the worry, but the kid is a devastating tackler and plays with a nasty attitude.
For me, backer spot is the worry. Until I see it, I don't take the rumors of Tremaine Edmunds moving to DE credibly. The DE spot is three deep even if the 2nd and 3rd team kids are unproven. THEY HAVE NO BODIES AT BACKER. Edmunds, Moss (who may never be a contributor), and pray for rain. Belmar is the first kid in. Fingers are crossed on Ross and Pine. It is unprecedented for a freshman to start at backer, but if there was ever an open window for it to happen, now is the time. Worst case, it wouldn't be shocking for whoever ends up showing up to be the number 2 on day 1 of fall camp.
When I see these pics, it makes me want a ten-story tall, bright glowing orange VT in a field of maroon. Until then, we'll just need to win and win some more.
Why didn't those people in front sit down? Someone needs to get those VT Hyperloop people bigger logos on their shirts.

Yeah, the idea that Simms was ever a VT lean is simply not true. We were never really in it until Fuente came along.
We still have 3 LB targets that visited this weekend and have much better chance with each of them than we did with Simms.
Still have a lot of targets announcing in the coming days- Ross and Pine we could flip and Carter.
I thought it wasn't 2 separate things, I thought he was curling a 150lb turkey leg.
Enforcement and morals have no bearing on the definition of cheating. This is apparently where your misunderstanding of the term cheating, has it's root.
This is completely separate from the decision as to whether you want to cheat or if there is sufficient incentive or disincentive to cheat.
Breaking the rules is cheating. You may then decide whether you want to do it or not. Your decision to go ahead and cheat has no bearing on whether or not it is, in fact, cheating.
Make no mistake, I am not entering into the decision or making judgements. I am simply making sure that we do not slip from the definition of the terminology.
Dude has some serious feet on him and looks like he knows how to cause turnovers. Looks like he's the conductor on the H train to sack town.
