# | DT Tim Settle Hoping to "Burn and Learn" As He Cuts Weight and Absorbs the Hokies' Scheme to be fair, that's his standard intro to one of his pressers
"Redshirt" here refers to the image above - a sure sign of being a casualty on Star Trek.

# | DT Tim Settle Hoping to "Burn and Learn" As He Cuts Weight and Absorbs the Hokies' Scheme I see why Foster is excited about Tremaine Edmunds in that picutre...
If Settle keeps that level head and stays motivated to shed the weight and develop as a player, he is going to be a monster.

# | DT Tim Settle Hoping to "Burn and Learn" As He Cuts Weight and Absorbs the Hokies' Scheme Can't wait to see him blow up GT's OL and that triple option next year. I would expect him to redshirt this year as the coaches are saying. But with a year of practice and the weight room under his belt he should be an unstoppable force on the DL.
I disagree there. College QBs excel frequently in their redshirt freshman year with zero experience. 20 snaps in garbage time won't do anything but take away a year of eligibility. He's going to gain way more knowledge from practice and the qb room than the field
Nice gesture for the fallen reports, I like that. I hate the metallic orange. Hate it.
Yes, the redshirt. I took it to it mean "the future is now." Mix and match heads and bodies to make the ultimate super player. Imagine the possibilities.
I hope he doesn't get that redshirt.
Otherwise...RIP Dwayne.

# | DT Tim Settle Hoping to "Burn and Learn" As He Cuts Weight and Absorbs the Hokies' Scheme The next 4 years at DT look very, very promising. It also sounds like he's got a good head on his shoulders.
I'll say it - I love that when our players give quotes that I can actually understand them. Sentences and such.... Sorry. Just got done hearing a famous Jameis interview
As long as we dont wear all orange jerseys/pants, these are going to look SUPER sharp under the lights...
Incredible photoshop skillz
Clearly Beamer and Co. have already given him a red shirt as seen above with my factual picture #sauces. I think it might even be a marinade.
As another note, he likely won't be taking an official to tech, because of so many unofficials
The sign of a great team is to still come away with a success when things aren't going well.
Do you really think he'll get meaningful experience out of playing in garbage time? Personally I think that if a player gets anything out of playing only 20ish snaps of garbage time for the entire season, your coaching staff is terrible, and our current staff isn't that bad. Also, while he might not stay that 5th year, it's nice to have that option if it's available.
I just would like to point out that Dozer snuck this under our noses

# | DT Tim Settle Hoping to "Burn and Learn" As He Cuts Weight and Absorbs the Hokies' Scheme I never thought I would think a number like '97' would look small on a player...
I was wrong
Redshirt both him and Settle, and let them be the offensive and defensive anchors through 2019.
Seriously, that is a very easy way to ensure we continue to be a good team throughout Beamer's supposedly pending retirement. Build around these 2 and things will fall into place.
Body transplant?
^Agree. We all knew MV7 had the potential, but I don't think anyone could have envisioned what he truly ended up doing for VT when he first arrived on campus (from what I recall he was a 3/4* recruit depending on which site.) Yes, he could be considered an anomaly (few of his caliber pass through at a single school), but the RS was the best thing for him. Giving DL2 garbage time isn't worth burning his RS. The only way it should get burned is a complete disaster of the other 3 viable options going down or showing complete ineptitude. If he is what they say, then a 5th yr DL2 is probably unlikely, but hey, we never know. Hell, RS-ing and running the scout team O vs. 1st D may be the best possible preparation for him going into his RS-f campaign.
