I wish I had more to share. There were not many reps, and the angle made it next to impossible to see formation or anything on the back side. It sounded like Sobczak did something good, but you can't see him on the video. The coach just yelled goodness.
Can't wait. I'm a homer, so I see every player on osu's roster as a threat, but Bud brings a scary defense. Without the threat of throwing, miller might not be as dangerous, but he's made defenders look silly in the open field. Just hope Brewer doesn't morph into the terminator on 3rd & long. I hate the offseason.
The only problem I have with our poster is.. No Bucky??? Was he too tall for the poster? The TCU poster is just freakin' awesome.
I love reading your snap chat observations French!

# | Hokies RB Trey Edmunds Ready for a Season with "No Limp, No Gimp" After Several Injury-Filled Months Good for him. Good luck to him moving forward. Slowly, but surely, football is getting here. Here's to healthy players no matter the school!
This is true, when he has the ball in his hands. My biggest questions regarding him in the passing game are his abilities to get the ball in his hands. That's what I mean by as good as advertised. And that is something we'll just have to wait to see in 3 weeks.

Mickey Mouse: JENKINS! I want answers... and I want them NOW!
Why is he going to be this great weapon in 18 days?
He's not. It'll take a minimum of half a season, and probably most of the season to turn into a WR with competent skills & superior physical gifts.
I'd guess that Frank would support Bud in going to uva if offered because it's a good oppty where he could win with little transition (geographically, conference, recruits - not necessarily culture). And I think Whit is more likely to look for an experienced head coach vs. a promote - and Beamer probably knows that. However,I suspect uva will also look for an experienced HC with some type of pedigree to flaunt.
But - I think we all have to admit that bud could probably win at uva - they have decent talent now and the reason we've stayed above water the past 3 years was Bud's defense - his staff, schemes and development of 2-3 star talent and walk ones mixed with a few stud recruits. Guy is top notch.
Agree - and he's not just advertised, go to the 2013 tape. He's a legit playmaker coming back from shoulder surgery, so I'd assume he's still got the speed and shake pre-injury.
It could be Curtis Samuel, Torrence Gibson or a few others. They all have good speed, but the difference is that I have never seen anyone track a long ball as well as Devin Smith. I would expect us to drop/miss a few long balls.
That guarantee or title doesn't hold much weight really though does it?

# | Hokies RB Trey Edmunds Ready for a Season with "No Limp, No Gimp" After Several Injury-Filled Months I agree with the caveat that the OL has to create those lanes for him. If the OL improvement has just been coachspeak then it won't matter much who our RB is.
Unless Braxton Miller has become enough of a route runner to consistently get open against a very good coverage defender I seriously doubt "Miller vs Clarke" is the match up which costs Tech the game.
If Foster employs the Bear again, Miller on Jet Sweeps also becomes a non-issue because of the aggressive nature of Foster's defensive ends in that scheme. Only way Miller makes an impact is if he receives the pitch on the speed option or gets YAC on screen plays.

# | Hokies RB Trey Edmunds Ready for a Season with "No Limp, No Gimp" After Several Injury-Filled Months Dustin its DLO, what have you been up to?
Meyer fielded one of the few successful two QB systems at FL. Who's to say he couldn't do it again?
Just for perspective, Chase Williams only had 2 solo tackles last year, with 5 assisted tackles. Chuck Clark had 9, Deon Clarke had 5 with 5 assisted and Kendall had 5. So a good amount of our tackles came from the outside. The better interior push we get the more pressure it takes off Moto
I seem to recall that Bud said last year that playing Ohio State is kind of like playing GT, in that It's fundamental assignment football. You play your assignment,and trust that your teammate is playing theirs. You don't scheme for one or two players.
The main thing with Braxton is to not let him get open space. If he gets the ball we need to close quickly and make the tackle. He is probably the best person in the country with open space and making the lone tackler miss.
yeah checked all folders in my email. did i send you sowder.grant@outlook.com?

# | "Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler seeks more balance in his life" I'm not sure what Loeffler did to earn his bulletproof status with the fan base but nothing is his fault.
I could be wrong, but I think Thomas had like a ridiculous 40 yards per TD last year.

# | "Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler seeks more balance in his life" For realz. This conversation has been going on all off season like a broken record. And the deal is, basically no one is singing Loeffler's praises as an offensive savior. It's basically one side calling him awful and the other side saying we don't have enough data to draw meaningful conclusions about Loeffler as an OC.
One thing almost everyone agrees on is this is the make or break season for Scot. He has to show marked improvement in offensive production or he will (rightfully) be out of a job. That seems to be a fairly entrenched consensus. So it isn't a situation of Pro-Loeffler vs Anti-Loeffler, but more a situation of Anti-Loeffler vs Let Loeffler Install His Scheme.
The punisher.
a Bearcat said ours looked like their 2013 poster. then again, we do have their old AD
