# | Bud Foster: Virginia Tech defense is " more aggressive and twitchier" than Wisconsin, Bama, Oregon This early in the season is when he will be the least effective. His route running skills will be rough for sure. I would expect to see him get the ball in more tosses, hand offs, and pitches than down the field throws. He is a baller so he is always going to be dangerous with the ball in his hands its just that right now it might be hard to get it to him in a lot of ways.
He gets a rematch with Luck week 1. Let's hope it goes better than the orange bowl
I feel like a moth drawn to flames...
Might not be that far off. Buffalo has a silly amount of speed at skill positions and a very good defense. (Maybe not Seattle good, but one of the best in the league)

# | Bud Foster: Virginia Tech defense is " more aggressive and twitchier" than Wisconsin, Bama, Oregon not sure who told you that but we do use field and boundary so don't expect someone to shadow Thomas. Thomas seems to be getting a ton of hype, but doesn't seem to have the stats to back it up (yet).
Shoot I picked up Tyrod off of waivers in another league that decided to have the draft three weeks ago. That was such a steal it should be illegal.
Didn't Harbaugh say that "In the interest of fair and healthy competition" he'd release Michigan's depth chart as soon as Utah released theirs? anOSU could learn a thing or two from their rivals.
I'm looking over the Bills schedule to see what games we should be able to see in Virginia (i.e., not at the mercy of regional rules)
October 25 "at" Jags (in London), 9:30 AM...streamed on Yahoo
November 12 at Jets....NFL Network...wait, why does that date look familiar....freaking same night as VT/GT??? This is why Thursday night football needs to go away.
November 23 at Patriots -- ESPN Monday Night Football
December 20 at Redskins -- on CBS...not national, but we get all of the Redskin games here

# | Bud Foster: Virginia Tech defense is " more aggressive and twitchier" than Wisconsin, Bama, Oregon We do use a field and boundary typically. There have been occasions where we have our best CB follow a WR the whole night but that is a rarer exception.

I took Tyrod in Round 16 of my 2QB league. Pretty happy about that pick right now.
Edit: For clarification, took him as my 3rd QB on the roster, but certainly worth starting for matchups.
Or at least some sort of trick play. He's such a weapon and I know I'd be terrified of him running all over me I wouldn't think of the pass. He just has so many weapons it's scary.
Also: 5 years. FIVE. Tyrod had his plan all along...
The one caveat I would give here is that with the exception of Beast Mode, Buffalo does have some dynamic offensive weapons for Tyrod to use. Watkins, McCoy, Robert Woods, Percy Harvin. More so than Wilson has ever had in Seattle really, and the defense is not that far off that they have built there in Buffalo.
Tyrod helps to alleviate the biggest hole Buffalo has, which is their OL.
We're losing 2 guys off the 2-deep in each of the next two years to graduation alone. I don't think reps are going to be that terribly difficult to come by with all those spots opening up.
*edited to accurately state that we are not losing half the roster to DT graduation.

# | Bud Foster: Virginia Tech defense is " more aggressive and twitchier" than Wisconsin, Bama, Oregon I might be alone in thinking this, but I'm not scared of Braxton Miller as an H-back at all. Idk if others watched him run routes against Joey Galloway...? But he was running routes against a 50 year old man and for some reason that was supposed to impress us. Just because the guy was a tremendous athlete at QB, doesn't mean he can run effective routes, beat press-man coverages, and actually catch the football while going across the middle with the possibility of getting rocked. Just look at Terrelle Pryor. A great athlete at QB that is trying to become a WR for the Browns yet he can't do it even on that terrible roster. The only possible thing that scares me about Braxton at WR is trick play possibilities. That's it.
Man, your post just reminded me of our biggest preseason loss of all. Gonna miss Bill Roth.
Putting and between their two #1 qbs would definitely throw me off
No kidding! I just finished up 2 years in Dakar, moved to Wisconsin a month ago. Send me an email, [username] at gmail dot com - always happy to swap Senegal stories.
Ha! Good point.
Last year he was listed as 6 foot. I'm guessing with the help of your information he is probably 5'11" and change
only rained on us, though. The other guys had a sunny day.
